Three two one. Explain your role in the schools as a police officer. Sure. First you are in a police officer. You. Are the best you know. In the schools or work as a pretty primitive. You are. Taught to talk with the principle that you are trying to get from them that I care about another can tell. How a child reacts to the story and was thinking of the child as problems at home brings into school if you can tell me. That I try to try to speak from the right. There might be causing the child to react in certain situations he may pass he could relate to the potential criminal activity.
Once I get this information teachers speak with a parent lest. I talk to them. Worlds all the records and the radio. Once I got what you. Had children. And then you. Want to look cool. Never thought I was. Looking for something to do. The person. I want to work. For. Oh that's not what I hear. You talk to me.
I'll tell you try to resolve the problem without going through the. Lens of the child as. To what's happening around certain situations which. Once I speak my mind turns on it to come up. So what actually who was a kid. That's what you got. Be afraid. That's one of the problems I've come up with. When a child when a child sees a police officer on the street. The parable say to the child. The police are
taking away. Let's not actually get into a police officer to him or to do with a parachute I truly do. That's what you see the benefit of you interacting with the kids are out of the service or coming physically to the school. Being in a classroom interacting being able to have. Touch with. The child gets the benefit of knowing that somebody with authority now let's face it a police officer in uniform is an authoritative figure. A child sees a person like that taking an interest. Being involved. Going to the child talking to them and interacting. Even if it's just standing in the in this school I'd thrown the ball over the hoop or something with the child. They become friendly they become. More at ease with an authoritative figure and that's the
idea. You have to get there calm for this child. Now if you find it more alert more aware of what's happening around them. They're on the street more often. And the program that we've tried to develop here in in Frankland is called Kids and cops. And that's who deals with cops and police officers. We've started by like I said pre-crime intervene when a crime occurs a small crime of talking about rape robbery arson. I'm not talking about that. That has to go through a legal system. But I'm talking about vandalism. Petty theft. And driving all wrong. You know if there if there's a child I've had cases where there's children 12 years old selling dope. And dealing it to the children. You know I'm not talking about them talking about the child who comes into the school and paints the wars in paint or
cuts a tire or breaks a window. OK that's potentially criminal. It is a criminal act. But that can be stopped if it stopped in time. If it if the child was taken to the side and spoken to. We may not have these troubles in the future if children are taught by police officers in the school system. This is the program that we've been talking here at Franklin and we've been dealing with. I as a police officer come to the school. I interact with the children with the parents and the teachers prior to them getting themselves into any trouble I try to educate the children. Try to teach them that this is the law. This is the way things are. Police officers are here to help. They see me in a uniform they see me as a civilian. OK police officers are people they're men they're women they have children I have children. OK. I deal with children. That's what I'm there for. I don't want these children to grow up and eventually become
criminals. So let's teach the children right from the get go right at the kindergarten level and up to the 12th grade. Let them know what is the law and what they can use the law for and what the law can be used against them. That's what this prog rock program is all about. You intervene with the children before they try to get in trouble. And you stay with them educating them in the laws of the state the county the federal government ministers. You let them know that you're there to help and not to hinder. That's that. That's basically what it is. And how would you assess the success of the scope program scope has brought it all together. It has taught. Us as a group. Ok how to deal and bring together the problems that we know we have. OK. It has shown us a way to. Structure priorities and how to deal with these problems priorities resources and solutions to these problems.
We have a way of dealing with them now of knowing where to go and who to see to help us deal with these problems. And it's working. Reaction. Well kids in COPS program is the only one of this sort here. Like I said it involves a what I call a police teacher. I myself I I have substitute teaching license. OK I can go into school into a classroom as a police officer and also teach. But the curriculum that I can teach it deals specifically with the more rep the lure tails. Out of it and elementary level. I'm not saying stuff that go to college learning. I'm talking about third grade second grade kindergarten children learning. Just remember it's the intention. That you get from a police officer talking to a child. He loves to come over touch the uniform ask questions. That's the kind of interaction that you need.
That's what you need to stop some of the things in the future. All right thank you very much. Hold. On for just one. Did you just. Figure. Out Why did you go didn't you. I see fit to
put on my little bit though there was no way really here. OK you know we have to follow what we started doing in our school training program. If you remember we recently done training biking in the spring and we brought some problems that we looked at that moment and they are being implemented already. But I think it's time that we get to hear it again and come to you. You know what we already started to do was we have to utilize you know the techniques that we learned in this training session. And we have to utilize our leadership to identify and
time the problem is that we feel and I know munity before then we learned that we should use teamwork approach. We have to utilize our strengths as individuals as part of this part of the community to pull this so that we make the horse cool because on the preschool we cannot be naive to think that is wrong. Maybe children these moment they're not those problems. Think about the time that we raised in the community and for. One should.
We learn from. This. Training. OK we brainstorming that we want to then define the time from the problem. OK OK. OK. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah yeah. Oh. GOD OH MY GOD. Right.
Now right. Oh. Right. OK. You know. What he's talking about the one that is best for you. OK. My oh. OK. Last. Base. Yes.
OK. Yes that's what. I said. Quite. A lot. What. Book are you talking about Laura. OK could you describe. The process of the brainstorm session that you're having here. OK for you the first thing we do we all get together and we all the different problems we have in the bill or in the area in the community. The next thing we have are the courses we have to list the
courses that cause the problem from them if we have the list of courses we have five solutions to the causes of. The problem. The next step we have blockages things that we can do things that we can get our solution from. So we have little or blockages. The next step is strategies to. Attack the blockages and then we can continue the process. I raised this take place in the same session.
