| My mother always told me that if I was lost I could go up to a policeman and that he would help me to find my way home. |
| I never did get lost, but I always remembered what my mother told me about the police. |
| I think policemen look very nice in their uniforms. |
| I see police officers drive by in their police cars. |
| In my town we even have police officers on bicycles. |
| Policemen and policewomen have a job that can sometimes be dangerous. |
| They have to catch people who break the law. |
| Sometimes, they have to chase people or try to calm people down. |
| To be a police officer you need a lot of training. |
| It is important to be able to deal with people effectively. |
| A police officer came to our school. |
| He had a police dog with him. |
| The officer showed us how the dog could track down criminals. |
| The dog was very smart. |
| He could even find things that were hidden. |
| Criminals sometimes hide things that they don’t want the police to find. |
| The policeman told us that he and his dog were partners. |
| His dog lives at his house with the policeman and his family. |
| Sometimes I see police cars on the side of the road. |
| The police stop people who are speeding or are not wearing their seatbelts. |
| The police officers warn people or give out tickets. |
| Sometimes they even have to arrest people. |
| Police officers are just doing their job when they arrest people. |
| Some people need to be arrested and put in jail to make it safer for the rest of us. |
