(PERTH COUNTY, ON) - The last few weeks of high school is an exciting and memorable occasion for numerous high school students throughout Perth County. Hundreds of local students will be taking part in parties and graduation celebrations throughout the area.
Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding all students to keep safety in mind when attending parties. These gatherings sometimes include alcohol and/or drugs which can lead to situations where young men and women expose themselves to unnecessary risks, both legal and health related. Quite often decisions made under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs lead to dangerous situations which can cause serious injury and death.
Perth County OPP also reminds all parents and caregivers to be aware of risks, particularly those who will be hosting end of year parties. Property owners need to be aware of their civil liability for anyone that gets injured on their property. Police want to make it very clear that unsupervised parties including "field/bush parties" are unsafe environments for anyone. Police are often called to investigate criminal reports of assault, drug and alcohol offences, sexual assaults, thefts, mischief and other related crimes stemming from these types of unsupervised parties.
Police encourage parents and caregivers to speak with young people about the associated dangers of attending such events. For those who choose to attend or host one of these parties - be aware that Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E) checkpoints will continue in an effort to deter everyone from making the decision to drive while impaired.
Young people have every reason to celebrate this milestone in their life; however, it should be done in a safe and responsible manner. Perth County OPP wishes all graduates best of luck with their future endeavours.
