The Burlington Police Department will once again offer the radKIDS program this summer to Burlington children aged 8-12. The kids will participate in a fun and very active program that emphasizes safety awareness through role-playing, self-defense, and other engaging activities.
The Burlington Police will incorporate risk awareness skills (strangers, public safety, etc.) with radKIDS, a program that offers defense against abduction. The radKIDS portion of the class is a 15-hour class to be integrated with safety awareness teachings.
Classes will be free for all attending residents. Donations to Burlington DARE are appreciated. The radKIDS organization provides all children the opportunity to reattend the class on an unlimited basis at no charge.
The course will take place at the Marshall Simonds Middle School gymnasium from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, either from July 21 to 25 or July 28 to August 1, 2025. Full-time Burlington Police officers will be instructing the class.
Registration forms are available for pickup in the police station lobby or can be printed out here Version Options radKIDS Headline Version Options radKIDS Headline. They must be dropped off at the Police Station. Limited space is available!
