PRESS RELEASE

To:               News Media

Subject:       Internet Safety Training

 Date:          May 15, 2007

FONTANA -

The Fontana Police Department has developed a training program that is being presented to parents and other concerned citizens regarding Internet Safety. The idea behind the training is to provide parents and other concerned citizens with information as to how children are utilizing websites such as MySpace and other social networking sites (such as chat rooms). The training will explain, as well as demonstrate, the dangers children become exposed to through this type of Internet use.

After the initial presentation, a live Internet demonstration of the information presented will occur. The training is complimented by a detailed hand-out that will be provided to those in attendance. It is the goal of the training to provide citizens with not only information, but the tools and knowledge to make a difference. Parents and other concerned citizens will be more aware of the dangers children face while engaged in social networking activities. This will allow citizens to work with police departments to “Keep Children Safe”.

The Fontana Police Department has joined with the Fontana Unified School District to make this training possible. The training is free and available to anybody who wishes to attend (including Law Enforcement Agencies), however seating is limited. To reserve a spot please call (909)350-7705. The training is scheduled for June 15, 2007 at 9:00am and will be held at Fontana City Hall, 8353 Sierra Ave. The training is scheduled to last approximately 90 minutes and is a must for every parent.  Click here to view this training live from your computer.
