(Laredo, Tx)-Shattered Dreams Event To Take Place: City of Laredo Police Officer Abraham H. Diaz, Jr. (left) addresses a group of first responders at the last planning meeting for the upcoming Shattered Dreams event. Shattered Dreams is an educational experience that targets teens and reminds them about the dangers of drinking and driving. This year’s event will be held at United High School on April 10 and 11.
The project involves a simulation of an alcohol-related crash at the campus, complete with police and EMS response, emergency room treatment, family notifications, and the arrest and booking of the driver. Throughout the school day, elements of the drama unfold to help students learn the program’s ultimate goal of never drinking and drinking and driving. The event took several months of planning from Diaz and other first responders with cooperation from the UHS campus.
