Broward Sheriff's (Florida) Office announces plans to combat drowning
The Broward Sheriff's Office (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) has announced plans to increase public awareness to stop accidental drownings of children under age 5.
The Broward Sheriff's Office, Children's Service Council of Broward County and the Sheriff's Foundation of Broward County announced yesterday they will spend about $60,000 on the campaign.
Volunteers will hang door hangers and pass out fliers about infant drowning. Twenty billboards will be placed all over the county, and public service announcements will air on television and radio throughout the summer.
Officials say Florida leads the nation in the drowning rate of children ages 1 to 4, and Broward County has the highest rate in the state.
