PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – On Wednesday, January 29TH, KPSM welcomed 19 children, between the ages of 3-4, from the Sister Borgia Elementary School to the station for a visit.
A ccompanied by their teachers, the energetic group of Early Stimulation got a guided tour of the station by the Interim police Spokesman, Inspector Joespha along with a few of the incoming class of officers. The pre-schoolers 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 centre 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 do their best to keep residents safe.
According to the Police spokesman, it is imperative that children at this age begin to learn about personal safety and how to be aware of their surrounds in the event of an emergency situation. KPSM would like to thank the Early Stimulation group from the Sister Borgia School for the visit to the station and look forward to several other schools visiting throughout the year, Inspector Joshepha said.
