We were very fortunate to have the New Brighton police officers come to Pre School this past week. This continues our effort to introduce our students to our community helpers who are there to help keep us safe at home and in our community. Jen and Trevor came to remind us that they, and all of the police officers, in New Brighton and elsewhere, want to help us find our way if we are lost, help us if we are injured or sick, and keep the "bad guys" away from us. They reminded us of safety rules such as not letting strangers into our houses and never going anywhere with a stranger. We talked about the rules to follow when we are crossing streets while walking or riding our bikes.
All Pre Schoolers are interested in seeing all the stuff on a police officers belt. Officer Trevor was nice enough to show us all of them; the flashlight, the club, the rubber gloves, and the place where his gun is kept. (We could not see the gun. That would not be safe!) Last of all, we got to see the police car up close with all the lights flashing. Those who wanted to could climb through the back seat of the car and look into the front seat where the police camera and computer are located. It was so cool!
Thank you, Jen and Officer Trevor!
