Safety Town 2021 Online Registration For Children Entering Kindergarten Begins Monday Morning

Los Alamos County Police Department and Recreation Divisions have partnered for the 2021 Safety Town program slated for June 7-11 at Los Alamos Middle School.

Safety Town is free for all children entering kindergarten for the 2021-1022 school year. Children mist be 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2021.

Town’s Mission is to provide the opportunity for students entering Kindergarten in the Fall to learn about safety in their school, community and neighborhood. Students will learn strategies to keep themselves safe and have opportunities to practice basic safety procedures in new situations. These include: fire safety, bicycle safety, animal safety, gun safety, stranger safety, pedestrian safety, bus safety, water safety and drug safety.

Registration begins online Monday, April 19 and closes Wednesday, June 2 or whenever Safety Town is full.

This year, the maximum number of participants is 45 and all participants must be able to wear a face mask at all times. COVID-safe practices will be followed at all times. Safety Town will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. daily.

To register, take the following steps:

  1. Go to
