Two hundred twelve safety classes are taught on these and other topics throughout the year. School Safety and Officer Friendly School Safety programs are administered by the Officers Friendly, beginning with preschool. A different section is taught at each grade level. Sessions last up to 30 minutes.
Lessons are age-appropriate.
For example, preschoolers and kindergartners are taught basics such as how to dial 911 and what to do in case they are lost. In first grade, stranger-danger is emphasized. At the high school level, the program deals with relevant information for students who are in drivers education programs. The laws of Illinois State are reviewed and students are made to understand that having a license is a privilege. This program is more comprehensive than the name indicates.
