As we approach the Mardi Gras holiday, we want to ensure the safety of our students. On Thursday, January 30, 2014, NOPD Crime Prevention Officers John Dobard and Clarence Cornelius presented and discussed Mardi Gras safety tips with our very own Clark Prep 11th and 12th graders. Our students and teachers welcomed the tips and we think it is important to pass that information along!Mardi Gras Safety Tips:
- Don't keep your money out for any longer than is necessary. You don't want to make yourself the victim of a professional pickpocket.
- Don't park in front of driveways, fire hydrants, or anywhere you would not normally be allowed to park. And be sure to lock your vehicle!
- Keep your children (or little brothers, sisters or cousins) close, and don't let them wander off. Be sure that they know to stay behind the parade barricades.
- The Neutral Ground (median) is public property, and it is illegal to block off areas for private use.
- Glass containers are prohibited along parade routes.
- If your children are in ladders to view the parade, be sure that they are placed as many feet behind the street curb as the ladder is high.
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
