Sheriff's Dept Partner with Library

Throughout the entire month of May, which was nationally recognized as Clean Commute and Bicycle Safety month, a unique community partnership provided a free bike helmet safety program to Harford County adults and children.

Harford County’s Highway Safety Committee and Department of Community Services’ Commuter Assistance Program joined forces with the Harford Velo Cycle Club, One Less Car organization, Harford County’s Public Libraries, the Sheriff’s Office, and the Bel Air Town Police to provide safety experts to serve the public. This volunteer partnership conducted a series of two hour sessions where adults and children could have their bike helmets fitted properly. Safety experts were available to fit and to answer questions about the Maryland Bicycle Helmet Law. Those who attended these sessions entered a raffle to win bike helmets. Approximately one hundred individuals were served.
