On Tuesday, Officers Sousa, Toscano, and our four-legged superstar K9 Jack traded in traffic stops for a visit to our friends at KinderCare!

The 2- to 5-year-olds are learning about different occupations, so naturally, they had to learn what it takes to be a police officer. 

We talked about helping people, staying safe, being kind, and, of course, how important teamwork is (Jack made sure to demonstrate the “good boy” part of the job). The kids had some GREAT questions and even better listening skills. Future officers in the making? We think so.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of a community where we can connect with our youngest residents and help build trust, understanding, and maybe even inspire a few future badges along the way.

Thank you, KinderCare, for having us!
