Burlington County Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio has announced that the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department will be hosting free presentations designed to reduce teen driver crashes by increasing parental involvement, called “Share the Keys” at the Burlington County Emergency Services Training Center, 53 Academy Drive, Westampton.
“’Share the Keys’ is a great way to help get parents involved and informed as they prepare their teenager to become a safe and responsible driver,” Freeholder Director Garganio said. “As the father of two daughters, I remember all too well when they began driving and understand firsthand how important this service can be for parents and new drivers. I applaud Sheriff Stanfield and her entire department for all of their efforts as they continue to improve road safety for the residents of Burlington County.”
