Date & Time: Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. (and quarterly thereafter.)

The Thousand Oaks Police Department will be hosting a program to educate newly licensed and future licensed drivers.

Start Smart is a cooperative effort between the California Highway Patrol, Thousand Oaks Police Department, teenage drivers, and their parents.

The Start Smart Program is designed to help young drivers and their parents/guardians understand the responsibilities and traffic laws associated with driving a motor vehicle. Start Smart will show how a poor choice behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved. Our goal is to raise awareness and reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to collisions.

Interested parents are asked to call Senior Deputy Kelly Roark with the Thousand Oaks Police Department Traffic Bureau at 805-494-8245 for more information and to make a reservation. Space is limited to 25 students and their parents. There is no charge to attend the program.
