Police Teach Traffic Safety for Children
Kids can learn the rules of the road in a program conducted by police.
The miniature “Safety Town,” which opened Friday, teaches children ages 4 to 7 about traffic safety. Traffic officers and Explorers from the Oxnard Police Department use interactive techniques to illustrate the significance of traffic signs, proper street crossing, bicycle safety and more.
Officers will also be on hand to fingerprint children and take their pictures for identification purposes.
“Not only do children get to learn about safety by doing, the parents are also provided with an identification card with their child’s photo and fingerprints,” said Leticia Wilson, the marketing director for The Esplanade mall, where the program is being staged.
Thirty-minute classes will be held every day at The Esplanade on Vineyard Avenue and Oxnard Boulevard from noon to 5 p.m. Classes will continue through Aug. 9.
