The construction of Safety Town began on April 24, 2004.  Volunteers came out to help build the little town that is located behind the Lake in the Hills Police Department Safety Education Center.  Safety Town has 4 blocks with 16 miniature buildings some of which include; Boulder Ridge Country Club, Dominick's, Northern Illinois Flight Center, Govnor's, and the Police Department just to name a few. 

Safety Town is being used as a setting to teach children between the ages of 4-6 various safety topics which include; crossing the street, bicycle safety, traffic lights and pedestrian safety which will all be taught by Officers and various guest speakers.  The image to the left below shows Sgt. Terri Vollmer, Ofc. Randy Story, Robert Long, Jo Mason, and Jack Mason at the grand opening/unveiling of the Safety Education Center on June 5, 2004.  Thank you to these individuals and all of the volunteers that came together to help on this project, they have done an outstanding job.
