Protecting our children starts with everyday habits at home 🧸🪁 In honor of National Preparedness Month, here are five essential ways parents and caregivers can protect our youth: • Home & Environment: Secure heavy furniture, childproof living spaces, and keep household hazards out of reach.
 • Active Supervision: Keep a watchful eye during public outings and closely monitor online activity.
 • Emergency Readiness: Teach kids how and when to dial 911, memorize their home address, and identify trusted adults like officers, firefighters, or teachers.
 • Lifesaving Skills: Learn infant and child CPR so you can respond quickly in a crisis.
 • Road & Traffic Safety: Practice street safety early—teach kids to look both ways, use crosswalks, and stay alert around vehicles.
 Protecting our children ensures the future and well-being of our entire community—making child safety everyone’s responsibility.

🚨When disaster strikes, every second counts—is your family prepared for the first 72 hours?⏱️ Power outages and emergencies happen without warning. Having a plan, a stocked supply kit, and a clear evacuation route ensures quick access to food, water, and medical supplies when you need them most. As we highlight National Preparedness Month, the Vienna Police Department reminds everyone that safety starts with preparation. Plan today, protect your loved ones tomorrow. 📦 Build your ‘Emergency Go Bag’ today!🎒

Vienna Town Manager, Mercury Payton, awarded MPO Lyons and PFC David Reed this quarter’s STAR Award, recognizing the life-saving teamwork we posted about in June. Their quick action reflects the highest standards of professionalism and commitment to public service. We are proud to honor their outstanding performance and dedication to serving the Vienna community. You can view the original post here: ow.ly/gMyL50ZPKX6

🚨 Don’t wait for a break-in to start thinking about home security. 🏠 Unsecured homes are up to 3x more likely to be targeted by burglars, but a few simple improvements can deter intruders before they ever reach your front door. As we highlight National Preparedness Month, the Vienna Police Department encourages everyone to stay vigilant and proactive. Safety is a daily commitment — protecting our homes, families, and community starts with preparation.
