Position on Safety

Sudbury public safety resources.
Favorable. Sudbury Police and Fire perform admirably. Violent crimes are infrequent and murders are rare.

Laws pertaining to safety on Sudbury roadways.
Unfavorable. The narrow roads, few sidewalks and very large vehicles owned by Sudbury residents, and the persistence of distracted driving habits, have created a heightened risk to pedestrians, bicylists, and other motorists. Enforcement of a safe vehicular speed is essential. Increased enforcement of other driving regulations is more challenging, but becoming more urgent.

School Safety Programs
Review needed. It is obvious that schools must provide a safe and secure environment for all students, teachers, and staff. The same could be said for any organization or place where people gather. Here is a link to a site offering materials relating to school safety that appear to be available for free, but may have some religious content. Here is a link to another organization that appears to offer programs about preventing violence in schools. A quick look shows that there are many products, services, experts and proposed laws, screening devices, metal detectors and other security systems that are actively marketed to school systems in communities concerned with school safety. I know nothing about these sites or their owners, and am not recommending them, but they do seem to enumerate many of the discussed issues relating to problem in-school behavior, including the use of legal drugs to treat ADHD, bullying, illegal drug use, and ways to reduce anxiety, anger and stresses that may lead to violent behavior.
