Checkpoints™ Program is approximately a one-hour program that is designed to reduce teen crashes and violations. This program will help you:

• • Help your teen be safer when they become a new, independent driver.
  • Establish and personalize a free, interactive Parent-Teen Driving Agreement to help you set safety expectations as your teen gradually increases driving complexity and responsibility.

Offerings & Location

The program is currently offered monthly at the Nicholasville Police Department.
