Preventive policing

Okay kiddo, let's talk about preventive policing. You know how sometimes mommy or daddy will remind you to brush your teeth before bed or put on sunscreen before going outside to play? Well, that's kind of like what preventive policing is.

Police officers are like helpers who keep us safe and make sure we follow the rules. Sometimes, they don't just wait for bad things to happen before they help us. They try to stop bad things from happening in the first place. That's what preventive policing is all about - it's like a police officer's way of reminding people to be good and follow the rules before anything bad happens.

Just like how mommy and daddy remind you to brush your teeth or put on sunscreen, preventive policing can involve police officers reminding people to do things like lock their doors, drive safely, or not leave their belongings unattended. By reminding people to follow the rules and take safety precautions, police officers can help stop bad things from happening, like theft or accidents.

Some people might not like preventive policing because they think it's like the police trying to tell them what to do, but it's really just about keeping everyone safe and ensuring that we all follow the rules. So, just like how mommy and daddy remind you to be safe and follow the rules, police officers are doing the same thing through preventive policing.
