Chief Burns urges parents to stay connected to protect youth
Chief Burns urged parents and guardians to stay connected with their children and to know where they are in a short video posted on Facebook as part of a Chief’s Community Check-In.
The message, shared on social media, emphasizes the role families and neighbors play in keeping young people safe. Chief Burns said the brief address was directed at parents and guardians and called on the community to work together to protect youth.
Community check-ins such as this are a common outreach tool used by public safety leaders to communicate directly with residents, offer guidance and encourage cooperation between families and local agencies. Officials often use videos and social posts to reach broad audiences quickly and to reinforce basic safety steps.
The reminder underscores that preventing harm to young people depends on active engagement from parents, guardians, schools and community members. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
