♪MUSIC♪ >>HI.

MY NAME IS SERGEANT STRANGE AND I AM A HELPER.

I AM VERY PROUD OF MY JOB BECAUSE I GET TO HELP KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

I AM A POLICE OFFICER.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW POLICE OFFICERS HELP.

WHEN I GO TO WORK, I WEAR A UNIFORM SO YOU KNOW I AM THERE TO HELP.

THIS IS MY UNIFORM.

SOME IMPORTANT PARTS OF MY UNIFORM ARE, MY NAME TAG.

IT SAYS ASHLEY STRANGE.

THIS IS MY PATCH.

IT TELLS YOU WHERE I WORK.

MY RADIO.

>>10-6.

>>THIS LETS ME TALK TO OTHER POLICE OFFICERS SO WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER.

MY BADGE.

THIS MEANS I PROMISE TO KEEP YOU SAFE.

IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY FRIENDS AT MY JOB WEAR THE SAME BADGE.

WHEN YOU SEE ME WORKING, I MIGHT BE WALKING, ON A BICYCLE, A MOTORCYCLE, AND SOMETIMES EVEN A HORSE.

BUT YOU WILL MOST LIKELY SEE ME IN MY CAR.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

MY CAR IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY DRIVES.

IT HAS SOME SPECIAL TOOLS TO MAKE SURE I CAN HELP YOU.

MY LIGHTS HELP DRIVERS SEE ME WHEN I AM COMING DOWN THE ROAD.

SOMETIMES I NEED TO DRIVE QUICKLY TO HELP SOMEONE.

MY LIGHTS LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM COMING.

MY SIRENS HELP TELL PEOPLE I AM ON THE WAY.

[SIREN] >>YOU CAN HEAR MY SIRENS FROM FAR AWAY.

I ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL COMPUTER IN MY CAR THAT HELPS ME FIND IMPORTANT INFORMATION LIKE PHONE NUMBERS AND ADDRESSES.

LIGHTS, SIRENS, AND THIS COMPUTER ARE JUST A FEW OF THE TOOLS THAT HELP ME WITH MY JOB.

I GET TO DO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AT MY JOB.

I GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

>>HOW ARE YOU?

>>I ASSIST PEOPLE WHEN THEY CALL FOR HELP.

[PHONE RINGING] >>I MAKE SURE PEOPLE FOLLOW THE RULES AND MUCH MORE.

YOU MIGHT SEE ME IN LOTS OF PLACES.

I HELP PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES, ON THE ROAD AND IN BUILDINGS, LIKE STORES AND SCHOOLS.

MY JOB IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

IN AN EMERGENCY THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WE NEED TO TALK.

I MAY NEED TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL ME THE TRUTH.

I MIGHT ASK YOU THE NAME OF YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION, SO BE SURE TO PRACTICE IT.

I MIGHT ASK YOU TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED SO I CAN HELP.

IT'S OKAY IF YOU FEEL SAD, ANGRY OR UPSET.

I WANT TO LISTEN.

YOU CAN HELP ME BY LISTENING TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICING YOUR PATIENCE.

THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WHEN YOU SEE ME HELPING OTHERS, SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK RIGHT AWAY.

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM STILL THERE TO HELP.

EVEN IF WE CAN'T TALK WHEN I FIRST ARRIVE, I WILL STILL MAKE TIME TO TALK TO YOU.

IF YOU SEE ME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU CAN SAY "HI" OR WAVE TO ME.

I LOVE TO WAVE BACK.

POLICE OFFICERS LIKE ME ARE IMPORTANT HELPERS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WHAT'S MY JOB?

TO KEEP YOU SAFE.

WHAT'S YOUR JOB?

TO BE SAFE.
