FOR EMERGENCIES DIAL 911
Special Event Held at Jackson Township Police Department!
Headed by Officer Evans, Jackson Township Police Department hosted their third Bike Rodeo with a local boy scout pack. Officer Evans described the event as another tremendous success “this is the 3rd year we have been involved with the boy scouts for the Bike Rodeo, where we have been asked to join in to teach the safety and laws that govern bicycles by Scout Pack 281 of Dallas, PA. We handed out pamphlets on bicycle safety and the proper helmets to the pack. For many of these scouts, it was their first time riding a bicycle. The Jackson Township Park is a great place to learn how to ride a bike around the track”. Below are some photos of the event!
