The Ramapo Police Department’s Community Policing Unit is encouraging local camps and schools to take advantage of its free safety education program, which brings police officers directly to students for interactive and age-appropriate presentations.
The lessons cover a variety of important topics, including school bus safety, bicycle safety, pedestrian safety, seat belt and car seat rules, stranger danger, 911 awareness, and taxi safety.
Department officials say the program is designed to educate children while strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the community. Schools and camps interested in scheduling a presentation can contact the Community Policing Unit by emailing CPOP@RamapoPD.org and providing their school or camp name, address, number of students, and age group information.
