Constable Lappa Teaches Safety Tips to Children

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Children discovered the fun and serious side of being a police officer at the Police themed drop-in program at Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre (PLC) on November 15.

This program included fingerprint crafts, a scavenger hunt where children had to search for fingerprints that were around the centre.

Programmer for PLC, Angel Campbell also read the children a story about safety and another story about the life of a cop.

The highlight of the afternoon was when Family/School Liaison Officer, Constable Jason Lappa visited and spoke about the role of police officers. Officer Lappa provided some safety tips and rules, and told the kids how police officers are able to help children. Lappa also explained how children need to phone 911 when there is an emergency or when they or someone else is hurt or in danger.
