SmartHome Residents At Safety First Class

Some residents of the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome are scheduled to graduate tonight from a Boulder Police Department Safety First Course. The free course is designed to provide safety tips to adults with developmental disabilities who live and work in the community. The curriculum of the program covers decision making skills, street-smart safety, home security, fire prevention, and safety on public transportation.

Safety First for Adults is taught by Boulder Police Officers using a combination of lecture, small group, and hands-on activities.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and thanks to the Boulder PD for hosting this valuable class!

Rebecca and Lana studying intently

Lana answers a question about when you should call 911. 

Lana practices dialing 911 and answering questions.

John high fives a fellow student (possibly Carmelo Anthony?) who just successfully completed a task


Rebecca practices calling 911 and answering questions, such as “What’s your address?”


John practices calling 911 on a cell phone. It’s different than a land line phone as you have to push the green “send” button.
