Earlier this year, Chief Cathy Lanier appealed to local organizations, companies, members of the clergy and others with an S.O.S. Previously called, “40 Days of Increased Peace,” this year, the Chief renamed the program the “Summer of Safety 2007” in order to extend the period from 40 days to the entire 73-day summer break for DC’s youth. The community answered the Chief’s S.O.S. and provided the police department with a comprehensive list of diverse activities for all age groups. The police department is sharing that list with local parents and youth in an effort to prevent an increase in delinquency amongst youth due to summer-related boredom and lack of supervision. Combined with the list of activities in this DC Summer Guide, the police department will provide a daily listing of summer events hosted by their own police lieutenants, as well as the police partners who responded to the chief’s S.O.S. to provide outreach to youth. For the most current information, call (202) 727-8809 or visit http://www.mpdc.dc.gov/sos. Youth and parents will also be able to call 202-I'M-Bored to hear a daily listing of activities. 202-I'M-Bored (202-462-6733) - The S.O.S. Program will begin on June 14, 2007, the last day of school in the District, and run through the last day of the summer vacation, Sunday, August 26, 2007. During this time, parents and youth can find information each morning about the day’s supervised events by calling a special police hotline, 202-Im-Bored (462-6733) or by visiting the website at http://www.mpdc.dc.gov/sos. Information about 202-I'M-Bored and the S.O.S. program will also be placed on MySpace© and YouTube.com. For more information, call (202) 727-8809.
