DARE to Be Safe

Photographs may be enlarged.

Officer James Dement visited first graders at Westwood recently to talk with them about their safety rules. The character cam caught him talking with Mrs. Limmer's class on Tuesday. He solicited volunteers to help him show students how much distance to keep between them and strangers, and to role play with him through a few different possible scenarios to arm them with wisdom about stranger danger and equip them with strategies should the need ever arise. See how frighteningly close he gets to this little girl by offering her "a note to take to her mom." He also tried other lures like offering them money and asking them to pet his puppy, prompting the students each time to continue to refuse the bait and keep their distance. We thank the Friendswood Police Department for their partnership in heightening our students' awareness and keeping them safe.
