City police officers teach children prevention and security

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.

How to use reflective accessories correctly

A fashion show of reflective accessories was prepared by South Moravian police officers for visitors of Thursday’s event on Moresque. At the event called “Let us see who leads guests,” the organizers have warned of the possibilities people can prevent from accidents. “We want to emphasize the importance of security enhancements. We need to be seen, because we have only one life, “said Petra. A pedestrian and vehicle traffic accident always has tragic consequences.

 

At the Basil stand, the children tried to identify dangerous situations. They evaluated whether it was good that the children in the picture played on the road. “So they do not have to read the lengthy questions, so they are pictures. We have hidden in them also those who do not usually have problems with children. The parents are worse off when they try to hurry quickly and overlook them, “said Panel, the coordinator of the Basil team.

 

Basil’s glasses contributed to the program, giving the impression of drug intake or drug overdose. “I was afraid. I heard it was a headache, but it did not seem like I was spinning. I saw the pink color instead of red, but the problem did not do it to me, “wrote Vera from Brno. She was also attracted by reflective material. Like bags and rugs that she would like to buy her grandson.

 

The most popular reflective elements are by Hands Strip on a hand, cranberries, or various pendants. “The colors are beautifully seen behind the lights. Silver is good again in the evening and in the dark. When the light comes from the car, the pedestrian lights up and attracts the driver’s attention,” Horizon said. Reflective material is visible at two hundred meters, and the driver has a longer reaction time.

 

The obligation to wear reflex extras outside the village for diminished visibility has a legal obligation. “It would be best to wear them constantly because the pedestrian crossing may be ill-illuminated. The man in dark clothes is so easily overlooked, Horizon added.

 

The fire brigade arrived in a car-carrying car for traffic accidents and car fires. They have shown the expansion pliers they use when they get rid of an obstacle. The ambulance also attracted attention. People are most interested in how it looks inside. They also asked for revitalization. “There are various myths about it. Many people think that when a straight line on the ECG occurs, the rescuers in safety clothing must immediately defibrillate. They know it from action movies, “remarked rescuer Node. At the same time, the rescuer tried to put things right. “There are only two defibrillating rhythms, and only you can fix them with a shock. So when the line is straight, the rescuers resurrect and the rhythm of the chest massage may occur.

Police officers in safety vest warn children at zebras

Some police stations or police officers with wear safety vest are seen around the school all year round – but from Monday, the presence of the uniforms becomes even clearer. Not only in the morning between 7:00 and 8:00, and then after schooling, but also in schools.

 

There are a number of seminars on safe road traffic. From the last March until April 4th, the police organize the spring round of the eighth year of the preventive information campaign “The Zebra does not look for you!”

 

The new spring of this year is that in Prague and Central Bohemia police will sometimes be accompanied by representatives of Auto. While police prevention and transport operators in the Zebra campaign talk to schoolchildren primarily as non-motorized road users and discuss the safety of pedestrians (especially the lesson about proper crossing the road is never enough) and cyclists, car makers will be the kids as co-drivers In motor vehicles.

Demonstration is mainly about demonstrations of proper attachment in child car seats; But also simulated impacts associated with explaining the operation of the airbag, remembers Renate Sander from the police presidency.

 

Gift items increase efficiency

Together with police officers, the BESIP coordinators will also go on the field. Various gift items are available to them and other partners, and the cops try to promote campaign effectiveness. Nor do not miss the notorious task-sticks with a police motif, much sought after in recent years.

 

But – this time, Sander is very promising to give away reflective accessories, which will ensure that pedestrians can see them in the dark in time, even if they wear dark clothing. “First and foremost, these reflective elements should become a motivational element to remind children and youth of responsibility for their health and life in relation to their behavior in road traffic,” Sander said.

 

The fact that the pedestrian chauffeur dressed in black or blue dressed has a chance to notice on the verge of the road to the last moment – if not too late – confirmed by the head of Prague traffic police Pave. Such a reflective strip allows for a longer distance to respond to the presence of a pedestrian who is wearing white clothing. The inconspicuous light-reflecting feature of the car really can help prevent black ends…
