In conjunction with local schools the Roseburg Police Department participates in the Block Home Program. This program allows an interested citizen to ride with and observe an on-duty police officer. Officers are available for talks on child safety in and ouside the home. These programs are structured for the pre and early primary school age group. Areas covered are contact with strangers, walking riding bikes and telephone usage in an emergency.
Officers conduct bike rodeos for schools or other interested groups.
The program includes bike inspections, safe operation, safety signs, bike licensing and a skills contest. The Department is open to groups or individuals who want to tour the police department. An officer will explain the different functions of the department and describe our activities.
