Storytime with an Officer

This program is designed to connect law enforcement officers with elementary aged children (K-5th)  in a fun and interactive way. Officers visit classrooms, either in person or virtually, to read aloud a fun and entertaining picture book, focused on a character-building trait, followed by a question-and-answer session. This program allows children to make personal connections with officers in a safe environment and, in turn, helps foster a positive relationship with and positive opinion of law enforcement.
