Police Officers

As a part of the unit about our community, friends had to meet the real heroes of our community- the police officers. Before meeting them, friends discussed what are police officers responsibilities. Combined our ideas, friends decided that the police job is to keep our community peaceful and to make sure that everyone in the community is making right choices. Talking about all of these, friends realized that they have much more questions... With all the questions written down, we went to meet the police officers. Here is what we learned from them.
Boris: Why police officers' uniform is blue?
Police Officer: Blue color means business. When people see the police officer in blue uniforms, they take them seriously.
Joshua: Why is a police car white and blue?
Police Officer: Long time ago, police cars were black. The black is hard to notice in the traffic. White and blue colors are seen from everywhere.

Eliana: Why do you have a radio?

Police Officer: It helps police officers to communicate with each other.
Reuven & Bina: Why do you have sirens for and why its so loud?
Police Officer: Sirens tell people and car drivers that somebody is in trouble, clear the way.

Michelle and morah: Why do you have guns?
Police Officer: We have guns in order to protect ourselves and other people from bad people.
Tammy and morah: What do you need to do to become a police man?
Police Officer: You need to finish school and college. You need to be caring, healthy and strong.
