!Bike Helmet Rewards
The Horseheads Police Department has initiated a bicycle safety program geared towards rewarding the youth in the community for properly wearing their helmets while biking or skating.
Officers on patrol in the Village will be distributing coupons to any youth that is properly wearing a bicycle helmet. Friendly’s Restaurant has generously donated 200 free “kids meal” coupons to be distributed with more being available.
The Horseheads Police Department would like to remind parents and children that if you are under 14 years of age, you need to wear a helmet while riding your bicycle or skating. The Horseheads Police Department in partnership with the Chemung County Traffic Safety Board have available “free” helmets to be given away after the completion of a bicycle safety course. The Horseheads Police Department encourages you to ride safely and obey the rules of the road.

%border="1px solid black" lfloat% Attach:schoolzone.jpg
Starting Wednesday, September 6th, Horseheads Police will be instituting a Zero Tolerance Initiative for school speed zone enforcement. Police Chief David Kole issued a press release to the media advising of this plan in an effort to warn drivers of the new enforcement program. Beginning on the first day of school, all school speed limit zones of 15mph will be strictly enforced on school days between 7:00am to 6:00 p.m. Please be extra cautious and alert for children running to and from school busses, and also standing at bus stops. Remember that passing a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing is a NYS traffic violation, and brings with it a hefty fine. Lets keep our children safe this school year.
