Only kindergarteners may the: visit the police in reflective vest one afternoon, visit all the rooms and the prison and inspect the patrol car, including blue light and siren. And also the equipment, including handcuffs could be tried.
Who has wondered this week about the frequent police siren and unusual announcements at Städtle: It was the kindergarten children to the police. Over two days, two groups of Zehntscheuer were with 13 and 23 children in the police department.
Jürgen Hamann explained
Equipment
To be able to individual care for the excited children, police said the children into three groups. Police Chief Superintendent Jürgen Hammann pointed to the “guard” the children, all equipment of the police. were Explains flashlight, telescopic baton and safety vest. Particularly exciting was the hand clasp, and some children could also create them to know the feeling. They were then but just as happy if you took off the handcuffs uncomfortable again.
Still relatively new to the police Haiterbach is the “Amokausrüstung” which is doubly carried in patrol cars. It consists as an adjunct to protective vest made helmet, shoulder and neck protection to protect the entire torso including head in application.
The images of police helicopters, police squadron and water police provoked a lot of questions that were all answered patiently by Hammann and his colleagues.
Finally, we still showed the children the cell – or in children “Prison” (police expression: detention center). The spartan (just a wooden bed) made a great impression on the children and no one wished to be probably imprisoned there.
Anyone can sometimes get into the patrol car
The second station supervised police chief superintendent Manfred Balke. Outside the field was the yellow-blue-silver police car with the star and the canary yellow fluorescent reflective tape. Each had the honor to get in and out, and again heard howling in Haiterbach the siren and the LED blue lights blinked. then echoed from the speaker of the children with a “Hello Hello” or “This is the police” through large parts Haiterbachs.
Then yet shown how to talk to the police digital radio with other departments and police vehicles.
As a special memory of that day get all kindergartners next day a reminder sheet presented. This shows the police station with the patrol car. This makes it a very personal gift, the children of police chief commissioner Günter Rothfuß were in the interrogation room of the police station with a police cap (white or blue choice) photographed and feel for a moment like a real cop. Together with the fingerprints of the small “mice” and “bear” the photos were laminated. Climax and conclusion of the exciting visit is always the group portrait. The children is written on their faces, the joy. In police stations already adorns a goodly number of these images a wall.
For Haiterbacher policemen Jürgen Hammann, Manfred Balke and Günter Rothfuss, who again made a lot of effort with the children, it was a pleasant change by its own account.
