SARPY COUNTY SAFETY PROGRAM

The Sarpy County Safety Program has new programs under the direction of the Sarpy County Safety Board of Directors. The Motorcycle Safety Program started in the Spring of 2009. A license Re-Instatement class is being held, to include an 8-hour class that satisfies the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles requirement for license re-instatement. A Points Back class will provide people with the opportunity to have 2 points re-instated to their drivers license after successful completion of the class.

POINTS BACK AND LICENSE RE-INSTATEMENT PROGRAM

The Sarpy County Safety Program is proud to announce an (8) eight hour driver education and training course.  This (8) eight hour course is certified by the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles.

The Sarpy County Safety Program will issue each participant a Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles Certificate upon completion of the course.  The student’s record will be forwarded to the State of Nebraska (DMV) for verification and processing.  Examples of driver license suspensions and revocations are -

This (8) eight hour training program provides the participant with a (2) two point credit on his/her license.  The class must be completed on a voluntary basis.  If the DMV is requiring the course for reinstatement or to prevent suspension for the under age 21 point accumulation, it will not be used for the point credit.  This program can only be utilized once every (5) years and the course must be completed prior to the date of violation that would assess the 12th point on the driving record.

The Sarpy County Safety Program is currently holding quarterly 8 hour classes at a cost of $115 per student, plus court costs (if applicable).  The court costs will be forwarded to the proper court upon completion of the course.  The next (8) eight hour class will be held on September 19th at 8:00 a.m. at the Bellevue Public Schools Adult Education Center, located at 2820 Arboretum Dr in Bellevue.  As enrollment increases, the Sarpy County Safety Program will offer more classes.
