Let's Meet a Police Officer

How do police officers keep us safe? Officer Gabby is a school resource officer—and she’s here to talk all about it. To protect the school, Officer Gabby stops cars at the crosswalk. She also warns kids about dangers, such as taking rides from strangers. To do her job, Officer Gabby went to a police academy. There, she learned to talk in shorthand and use special tools.

Some police officers have dogs as partners. Others patrol highways. By working together with other towns, cities, states, and counties, they all help keep kids safe. What can you do to help protect your community? Let’s find out!

An in-depth look at how police officers work in a community, Let’s Meet a Police Officer talks about public safety, traffic laws, and doing our part in a community. The story also highlights themes of working together for the safety of everyone. Written by Gina Bellisario, illustrated by Cale Atkinson, and published by Millbrook Press.
