Upcoming Event: Addressing Bullying in the Digital Age

The Stevens Point Police Department (SPPD) will be leading the session, focusing on online safety from a law enforcement perspective.
With the growing influence of social media and online interactions, it’s more important than ever to understand the potential risks children face in the digital world. The SPPD will provide practical tips and strategies to help parents protect their children from online dangers, including cyberbullying, online predators, and privacy issues.
Event Details:

- Time: 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
