Community Visit

Corporal Kniseley toured us around the Montpelier Police Station this afternoon (with the help of a few other city officers). Students learned about the holding cells, fingerprinting, locked entries, dispatch, the cruisers and so much more! We learned all about how police officers help our community and keep us safe. Police officers ensure that all people follow rules and help community members that have a hard time doing so. One police officer we visited with shared how he had just got back from a traffic accident and how sometimes they help with the traffic - especially in Montpelier these days! Students loved hearing and meeting Jake, a police dog who helps them locate people.  For some, this was surprising - that dogs can be more like people and be so helpful.  Students even met the dispatchers who would answer their call if they needed to call 911!  INQUIRE with your child what they enjoyed at the police station.
