Car crashes are the leading cause of death for all Americans under the age of 25. To help prevent those deaths, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office with the National Safety Council has developed a program called Alive at 25. The program teaches responsibility and how to make the right choices on the road. KCSO is offering the program to youth groups, churches, and communities.
The first class will be held Saturday, November 15, 2008 at Farragut High School from 9 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The school is sponsoring the event. The class is limited to 25 people and is open to ages 16-24. KCSO has specially trained instructors and equipment to show what happens when a driver is impaired.
“The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is committed to making sure that you and your loved ones are safe as they travel Knox County roads. I believe one way to do that is to offer educational programs such as Alive at 25 so inexperienced drivers will not be a danger to themselves or any of us,” said Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones.
