Police Officer Speaks to School Children About What Police Officers Do
Officer Chris McDonald recently spoke to a group of four and five year olds at Brookwood Elementary School about what police officers do.
According to Officer McDonald, "this an excellent opportunity for the kids to meet an officer and ask questions about our job. They are always very excited especially when they get to climb into the patrol car".
"Goodies" including pencils, rulers, and badge stickers were given away.
"We covered what to do in case of an emercency and how to contact the police or fire department", McDonald said.
Officer McDonald calling on one of the students who had a question
Wow! I think it is great that an officer had time to go out and talk to some children about what it is that they do everyday! I am only 25 and remember the police officers/firefighters coming to my schools in Texas and letting us know that they are our friends and someone out there to help us. I feel like to many kids these days are getting the impression that Police Officers are the "bad" guys and the person to avoid. Great Job!!! Keep up the good work!
