Several members of the Ramapo Police Department Community Policing Unit also spoke, alongside an educator specializing in school bus safety from the East Ramapo School District.
Throughout the morning, attendees were provided with crucial safety tips and had the opportunity to watch videos of local incidents, which underscored the importance of vigilance and adherence to safety protocols. The interactive sessions allowed bus drivers to discuss ways to collectively improve safety measures, ensuring a safer environment for the children of Ramapo.
