The Ridgefield Police Department was asked by a High School senior to be a location for her new program "SAFE SPACES". They accepted the invitation from Briony Sekelsky to be among those listed as a Safe Space. The partnerships between the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield and locations in town are meant to provide safety and aid to youth who feel unsafe and uncomfortable while alone. Locations can be identified by a sticker/decal on a front window. Ridgefield Police say what makes them a little different from the other locations, is that they are always open. Each location has a guidance sheet with step-by-step instructions on how to handle common situations that could occur.
