State Police tells students: Make good decisions

As the school year enters it's final leg, some high school students aren't concerned with final exams yet, they've got prom to think about!

Law enforcement authorities in Rhode Island say they want teens to enjoy prom and graduation, but they're also concerned that kids act responsibly.

To that end, the State Police Superintendent Colonel Brendan Doherty, Attorney General Patrick Lynch, Stephen McCartney, president of the State Police Chief's Association, and other advocates and insurance representatives are holding a press conference to share tips with parents and teens.

"Make Good Decisions" is set for 2:00 this afternoon at MetLife Auto and Home, in Warwick. The company is funding the program, which boasts a billboard on Route 95 South near Thurbers Avenue.

Parents and teens can also download a .PDF file the State Police prom safety brochure here.
