Lt. Frosty is behind the wheel and ready to respond! 🚨

...Or at least trying to be. Since the pedals are a bit far away for an elf, Lt. Frosty is serving as a very observant co-pilot today. 🦶🛑 Watch out for the tiny officer in the passenger seat, Hays!

Riding on a residential sidewalk? Be courteous!
• Slow down & give pedestrians space.
• Use a bell or your voice ("On your left!") since scooters are quiet.
• Watch for cars at driveways & alleys.

Breaking: New officer on duty! 🚔 Lt. Frosty was caught running radar today. He’s checking speeds and checking his list twice. 📝

Slow down, #Hays! You don't want a ticket from this guy—he accepts payment in cookies, but the points go strictly to Santa. 🍪🎅

Gear up, Hays! We strongly recommend helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads when riding scooters.

It's not a law we can enforce, but it's the smartest way to stay safe and prevent injuries from common falls.

First question: Street or sidewalk? It depends on age.

• Young Kids: We recommend sidewalks in residential areas.
• Older Kids/Adults: Use the streets and follow all traffic laws, just like a bicycle.

Double duty at the park today! 🚨🌳

While HPD conducted applicant testing, Hays Fire was on-site for firefighter drills. It's a great example of how Hays parks serve the whole community—providing space for play and public safety preparation.
