Sometimes Police Officers turn their loud siren on when they are in a hurry too. Some Police Officers ride on motorcycles. Motorcycles can go places that big police cars cannot go because they are smaller. This makes them very handy. Police motorcycles have blinking lights and a siren just like a police car.
Some officers are men and some are ladies.
They are all there to help people if there is an emergency or if someone breaks the law. Sometimes Police Officers have to look for bank robbers and other people that break the law. When you see a Police Officer, say hello and let them know that you are glad they are there to protect us and keep our city safe. Most cities have a special phone number that people can use when an emergency happens. When you dial this number you will get the help you need no matter what it is.
