High
School graduates of 2008 can join in on the fun of the annual Play It Safe program
coming to Ocean City in June. A number of drug-free and alcohol-free activities
are planned for this year's graduates visiting the beach.
Play It Safe is
a community-wide effort involving health, education, law enforcement, civic
and business representatives. Its goal is to encourage visiting high school
grads to have responsible fun without the use of alcohol and other drugs. Last
year's efforts contributed to Ocean City's fourth consecutive June where no
alcohol-related deaths or serious injuries occurred among anyone under 21. Thousands
of high school graduates attended Play It Safe programs including beach volleyball
contests, dancing and bowling activities.
The Play It Safe
Committee is currently working on ambitious plans for the 2008 project.
For
more information, call the Ocean City Police Department Community Services
Section at 410-723-6603.
OCPD
also is involved in a closely related program called R.A.A.M. or "Reducing the
Availability of Alcohol to Minors." The RAAM Project is a community policing
initiative addressing under-age drinking and its related unacceptable behavior.
An essential component of this program is the partnership formed with the lodging
and rental property community along with alcohol retailers, all working together
to make Ocean City safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
