The Defiance County Safe Communities Coalition would like to encourage all drivers – new and seasoned – to buckle up, avoid distractions, drive sober, and obey all traffic signs and signals.
Defiance County Health Department promotes safe behaviors for drivers of all ages. To increase community awareness and education of risky driving behaviors, DCHD continues to receive funding from the Safe Communities Grant. Grant funds are used to promote traffic safety initiatives to save lives and improve the quality of life for Defiance County. DCHD collaborates with local law enforcement and community agencies to fulfill selected initiatives such as Click It or Ticket and the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns.
In facilitating the Defiance County Safe Communities Coalition, DCHD will conduct Coalition meetings, Fatal Review meetings, attend OTSO Regional meetings, and conduct required kick-off events. The Health Department is required to attend 8 community events this grant year.
The Defiance County Safe Communities Coalition puts out a Quarterly Newsletter. This publication offers recent crash data, a member spotlight, upcoming events, marketing features, and much more. You can view the latest editions below.
