The Valley City Police Department is partnering with local schools to host an important community event focused on digital safety. Parents and caregivers are invited to attend the Parent Internet Safety Night on Monday, August 17th, at 5 p.m. inside the Hi Liner Activity Center lobby.
This session features representatives from the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. These specialists will provide direct guidance on protecting children while they are online. The presentation covers essential topics including app safety, parental control settings, and strategies for managing screen time. Experts will also discuss the risks associated with popular platforms often used by younger users.
Chief Nick Horner emphasized that the event provides practical tools for families to navigate the digital world. The agenda includes a dedicated question-and-answer session to address specific concerns from attendees. Participants will also receive take-home materials to help implement safety measures at home.
This training is free and open to the public. It serves as a resource for those who want to better understand the digital environment their children encounter daily. By learning about privacy settings and communication tactics, parents can move toward a safer online experience for their families.
