BUTLER COUNTY SAFE COMMUNITIES COALITION
WHAT IS SAFE COMMUNITIES?
Butler County Safe Communities is a program developed to establish and/or expand partnerships to achieve safer, healthier communities throughout Butler County. In return, costs associated with injuries will be reduced.
"Unintentional injuries" are the number one killer of children and adults. They play a major part in the death of people of all ages. The Safe Communities program provides opportunities to reduce the number of motor vehicle crashes and injuries.
