Crime Prevention, Traffic Education, and Safety are introducing the work of the City Police, its police officers and crime prevention assistants. This and much more was the content of a series of lectures that the Municipal Police in reflective vest organized for the pupils of the second to fifth grades at the Elementary School. Discussions with school pupils and students have proven to be an effective form of prevention for several years.
The lectures were divided into three sections. In the first one, the children were introduced to a crime prevention assistant who explained what the assistant’s work is. Another area covered the work of the police officers and the explanation of their work, when children could see and “hitch” the equipment of the city police. The most interesting ones were, of course, handcuffs, a radio, or batons. In the last round, the children responded to basic questions about traffic education and road safety. For the right answers, they received small gifts as a reward.
Each of the 300 children covered by the lecture got a reflective hand strap or a briefcase with the City of Program logo to increase the safety of people on the road. These reflective accessories are mandatory after the amendment to the Road Traffic Act from February 2016: a pedestrian if it moves outside the village under reduced visibility on the side or edge of the road in a place not illuminated by public lighting must be clearly visible.
