Look Before You Lock

As outside temperatures rise, the dangers for children being seriously injured or even dying from being left alone inside a hot car also rise. That's why the San Angelo Police Department has joining in a national campaign called "Look Before You Lock." Parents and caregivers are urged to do three things: one, NEVER leave a child in a vehicle unattended; two, make it a habit to look in the backseat EVERY time you exit the car; and three, ALWAYS lock the car and put the keys out of reach. If you EVER see a child left alone in a hot vehicle, call 911 right away.
