It's Prom season and a local law enforcement official is promoting safety while enjoying a memorable moment in life.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says prom can be a time you remember for a long time but too often the night ends tragically for young people. He is promoting a good time but safe time.

The Chief will be a part of an annual after-party at Clinton High School that gives teens a place to go for some after prom fun.

The DARE program wraps up this month for the Clinton Schools and Chief Lowers leads that for the grade-schoolers. He says a lot of the principals he's promoting are things youth learn in the DARE program.
