PHILIPSBURG:--- On Wednesday, January the KPSM welcomed 19 children, between the ages of 3-4, from the Sister Borgia Elementary School to the station for a visit.
The energetic group of Early Stimulation group accompanied by their teachers got a guided tour of the station by Interim Communications Spokesman Joespha along with a few of the incoming class of officers.
The preschoolers were able to visit with the different departments and ask as many questions as their inquisitive minds could come up with. They heard first-hand descriptions from the detective, IT, Communication, Watch commander as well as the Camera surveillance center officers.
The purpose of this visit was to give the toddlers an opportunity to visualize the experience and discuss information pertaining to the profession as a Police Officer as well as learn how a Police officer does their best to keep them all safe. It is imperative that children at this age began learning able personal safety and how to be aware of their surroundings in the event an emergency situation arises.
The KPSM department would like to thank the Early Stimulation group from the Sister Borgia School for the visit to the station and we look forward to several other school visits throughout the year 2020.
