Home Alone Parent Edition From Richfield Police Department

Press release from the City of Richfield:

September 2, 2020

Are you working on preparing your child to be home alone for short periods of time? Richfield Police Department has created a special, online edition of Home Alone geared toward parents and guardians. There’s a video presentation for adults and multiple PowerPoint presentations to share with your children. It’s all about preparing your child to stay home alone before or after school, or while you run errands. Please check out www.RichfieldMN.gov/homealone.

Remember, there is no magic age at which children develop the maturity and good sense needed to stay home alone but you can help prepare them by discussing the information covered in the presentation(s). If you have any questions, please contact Richfield’s Crime Prevention Unit at 612.861.9845.
