Youth Program — Safe Riding for Kids
About This Program
The Monmouth County Sheriff's Office and representatives of the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey (BIANJ) travel to local schools to teach students about the importance and appropriate use of bicycle helmets. As part of a partnership between the Sheriff's Office and BIANJ, fifth grade students at participating schools will also be asked to join in a creative writing and art poster contest that reinforces the key messages of the campaign.
Over 250 students will receive free bicycle helmets for creative submissions.
This program teaches children safe bicycle riding habits, the importance of always wearing a properly fitted helmet, and how to navigate roads and trails responsibly. Officers conduct interactive presentations at schools, community events, and youth organizations.
