ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

police

Police are people whose job is to help keep us all safe. They help to make sure that people follow the rules and laws of the city or town that they work in. They can also help people who are in danger, solve crimes, and respond to emergencies. Police wear special uniforms that are blue, black, or brown, and they drive around in cars with special lights and sirens. They also often have dogs that can help them find bad people or things. Police officers have important jobs, so it's important to show them respect and follow their instructions.
