At this station, kids will have a
chance to sit across from live Police emergency dispatchers, and
learn the basics of when and how to make a 911 emergency phone call.
After some basic information about
what 911 is, and why it is important to learn, kids will have a
chance to put what they've learned into action.
The officer will show the
child a picture of an emergency event. The child will then be able
to
use a real telephone in front of them
to dial 911.
The officer seated directly
in front of them will then answer their phone, and proceed to speak
with the child about the emergency.
Dispatchers speak to the
kids exactly as they would in a real emergency.
Although this training is
brief, this is an excellent method for learning because the kids
actually do exactly what they would in a real life emergency. |
