The Frisco Police Department, in conjunction with the Frisco Fire Department and Frisco Independent School District, will be hosting the 14th annual Shattered Dreams program this month.

The first event will be held at Frisco High school on April 7th and 8th. The second will be held at Independence High School on April 14th and April 15th. Each program will begin on each Thursday at 11:00 am and run through each Friday morning.

Shattered Dreams is a two-day program designed to educate students about the dangers of underage drinking and the severe consequences that can result from impaired driving. A Citizen Advisory Committee that oversees Frisco’s Photo Enforcement program voted to use red light fines to fund both of these presentations. The program is coordinated by the police department’s School Resource Officer Unit and rotates through different high schools each year.

As part of the Shattered Dreams experience, a motor vehicle crash reenactment will take place in front of each school that includes an actual response from police, fire, CareFlite and other emergency responders, weather permitting. Due to the reenactment on April 7th, Parkwood Boulevard will be closed from Stonebrook to Chapel Creek. During the event on April 14th, Independence will be closed in front of Independence High school, between Casarosa and Sumac.

The road closures will last from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. during each event. Motorists are urged to find an alternate route during these times.
