Registration for Safety City 2018 is closed.
Each year in the early weeks of summer, the Waukee Police Department holds a "Safety City" for students entering kindergarten at the Waukee Community School District. The cost ranges from $50 per student (plus fees) based on payment method.
Students learn about safety through one-on-one contact with volunteers during this week-long course. A miniature city is used in a local school gym to teach students about street safety including pedestrian rules, traffic lights and more. Students also tour the Waukee Public Safety Building. A short graduation ceremony at the end of the week allows parents to help celebrate everything their children have learned. Each student attendee receives a bicycle helmet and t-shirt.
