Police Visit PBS

Since our inquiry topic is people in our community, a few policemen had come to Panmure Bridge School to explain to us how they keep us safe, and what their role is as police officers. They first explained how they use a helicopter, also known as 'Eagle', to find missing people or to track people. They have a camera at the bottom of the helicopter which helps them look below. After, we were shown Kahu who is a police dog. Police dogs are trained to be obedient, by their handlers. Police dogs use their nose to track someone/something. They also use their teeth to attack criminals. It was interesting because I never knew that police dogs had a whole group of handlers to teach them how to be obedient. Thank you to Constable Cyrus for providing a great experience for Panmure Bridge School students. We are now more comfortable in our community because we know that police officers are making sure that we are safe.
