The Humane Society of the United States Recommends Top 10 Tips to Keep Pets Safe This Summer
(May 25, 2010) -- Memorial Day weekend signals the unofficial start of summer, and The Humane Society of the United States reminds people to start thinking about how the warm weather will impact pets. Whether taking a walk, a drive or just hanging out in the backyard, there are extra precautions that people can take to keep their four-legged family members happy and safe:
· Never leave a pet unattended in the car on a warm or sunny day. Cars quickly heat up to a dangerous temperature, even with the window slightly open.
· Be sure to keep pets up-to-date on their vaccinations and preventative medications. Fleas and ticks stay busy in warm weather and summer is also the prime time for heartworms. Check with a veterinarian about the best way to keep pets healthy.
· Keep cats indoors to keep them safe. Cars, other pets and wild animals can all pose risks to cats' safety. By providing playtime, cat trees and other enrichment, a cat will be happy and content to stay indoors.
· Beware of cocoa mulch and other gardening products. Cocoa mulch can be deadly if ingested and has an appetizing scent to some animals. Pesticides, fertilizers and other harsh chemicals can also be quickly fatal if ingested.
· When taking a dog for a walk on a hot day, plan for shorter walks midday, when temperatures peak, and longer walks in the morning and evening when it's cooler. Hot sidewalks can burn the pads on a dog's paws, so walk on the grass when possible.
· Pet rabbits should be kept indoors because they don't tolerate heat well. Keeping a rabbit indoors will also provide protection from predators who might try to attack a rabbit in an outdoor hutch.
· Never leave a dog outdoors unattended on a chain or tether. Long-term chaining during the hot summer months can result in countless insect bites, dehydration and heat stroke. Even short-term unattended tethering can pose risks such as theft or attacks by people or animals.
· When driving with pets, be sure to keep them properly restrained and inside the vehicle. Special seatbelts and secured carriers can protect pets during accidents and prevent them from distracting the driver. The back of a pick-up truck is never a safe place for a pet to ride.
· Be mindful of pets around our wild neighbors. When going for walks or playing in a fenced yard, don't allow pets to harass birds, rabbits, squirrels or other wild animals.
· The summer months are the peak season for dog bites because so many kids and dogs are playing outside. Training, socialization and dog spaying or neutering a dog can reduce the risk of dog bites. Kids can learn to stay safe through good manners around pets and humane education.
STUFF FROM THE STATION
New Stuff:
Last week I told you about our new Intern Rebecca "Becca". Today I would like for her to tell you a little about herself. Some of you have told me how fortunate she is to learn at the Buffalo Grove Police Department, I say that we are fortunate to have Becca with us.
I have grown up and lived in Buffalo Grove for my whole life, attending Prairie, Twin Groves, and Stevenson. Next year I will be a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I am a legal studies major with a minor in criminal justice. At school, I have just been elected social coordinator of the Pre-Law Society. I am also starting a new job in August for a student group called SafeWalk. I, along with another student, walk other UW students home late at night in order to ensure that nobody is by themselves. We work closely with the UWPD - carrying radios at all times, and will be trained in self defense, sexual assault awareness, and other key areas. After college, I hope to go to law school somewhere in Chicago to become a prosecuting criminal attorney, and then maybe work for the FBI. I look forward to spending the summer at the BGPD and hope to learn a lot about law enforcement! Maybe I will even decide to become a police officer...

Buffalo Grove Police Department Joins Law Enforcement
in annual Click it or Ticket Crackdown
Targeting Unbelted Motorists
Buffalo Grove, IL -- The Buffalo Grove Police Department is joining more than 12,000 law enforcement agencies in a nationwide effort to enforce seat belt laws. The Click it or Ticket Mobilization starts May 14th and continues through the Memorial Day weekend to June 6th 2010. The enforcement blitz comes as new data show that more men and women die in traffic crashes than any other cause. Buffalo Grove police will start special enforcement zone beginning May 1, 2010
During this latest Click It or Ticket campaign, officers will intensify their enforcement of child passenger safety laws, seatbelt laws and impaired driving laws throughout the holiday period. The Department will be conducting several seat belt enforcement saturation patrols and check points throughout the month of May.
Last year, Buffalo Grove officers issued 561 seat belt citations and 19 child passenger safety citations during the 78-hour Memorial holiday reporting period alone. "We participate in these mobilizations because they save lives," said Sergeant Scott Kristiansen of the Traffic Division. Teens will continue to be a key target of our efforts. Fatality rates for teens are twice that of older drivers, and the risk of crashes for teens is four times that of older drivers.
This year, approximately 8,000 Americans, adults and children, will die in crashes simply because they failed to buckle their seat belts. Safety belts save an estimated 14,000 lives each year and save about $50 billion in medical care, lost productivity, and other injury-related costs nationwide.
The simplest and most effective action a driver or occupant can do to save their life is to spend two seconds and buckle a seat belt.
Buffalo Grove's participation in the safety belt campaign is funded by a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
