Our Community - Police Officers

On Monday, Pre-K friends met with brave community helpers- Police Officers.

Everyone agreed that we NEED police officers services. They help to keep our community peaceful. 

Police Officers were kind to answer all our questions. 

We had plenty of them. For example, why police officers have badges and uniform? 

Why and how do they use guns and handcuffs? 

Police officer Diaz said that a badge is an officer's identification card. It has a number and police officer's name. Every officer has a gun and a set of handcuffs that are used only if there are bad guys try to hurt somebody. Officers said that it is important for them to work as a team and communicate clearly. For this purpose they use a radio. 

We asked officers if they ever found a lost child. 

"Yes", said police officers. They taught friends some important rules: 

1. Learn your full name and names of your parents. 

2. If lost, don't start to look for your parents. Stay where you are. 

3. Look around for a security guard, life guard or police officer. They will help you to find your parents. 

4. Don't leave place with a stranger.

5. With you are with parents in a crowded place stay close to your parents, track your parents. 

Make sure you see them every time.
