## Operation CAPSafe

**What is Operation CAPSafe?**
- Have every CAP Officer and Cadet member enter one Safety idea a month for either Ground Safety, Air Safety, or both
- This is a way to have every CAP Officer and Cadet member think of Safety at least once a month

## WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT CAP SAFETY:
National Commander, Brig Gen Amy Courter, CAP-USAF/CC, Col Russ Hodgkins and Col Lyle Letteer, the CAP National Safety Officer are all looking for safety to be in the forefront of everyone’s mind, whether volunteering for CAP or in their everyday lives.
