Question

We hear much about peace officers in the news. Sometimes it is negative, because officers are human like all of us and sometimes

make mistakes. But more often it's about how police officers and peace officers are dedicated to helping us and even willing to die to protect us.
Think about your interactions with peace officers. Then, offer some ideas about how you, as a student and citizen, can work with
peace officers to contribute to the safety and harmony of your environment.

Answer 1

There are several ways that students and citizens can work with peace officers to contribute to the safety and harmony of their environment:

• Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police. If you see something that doesn't seem right, don't be afraid to speak up and let the police know.
• Support your local police department by participating in community events and volunteering your time.
• Respect the authority of peace officers and follow their instructions. This includes obeying traffic laws and not interfering with their duties.
• Educate yourself about the role and responsibilities of peace officers, as well as the laws and policies that they enforce.
• Show appreciation for the work that peace officers do by thanking them for their service and expressing your gratitude for their dedication to keeping your community safe.
