World Special Federation (WSF), in partnership
with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Southeast Community
Police Station, visit schools around Los Angeles where a police officer teaches Kindergarten
and First Grade students about bicycle safety. |

- There are too many bicycle accidents
involving young children. We hope to lower that.
- We make it fun by providing students with coloring books,
crayons, using bicycles & props, such as a "STOP"
sign, and having a coloring contest. And they receive a special
certificate too!
- We believe children will remember what they learn from a police officer,
someone who is a role model and an authority figure who they respect and look up to. It will
also reinforce and validate what their parents and teachers taught them. And what a thrill
it is for them to be able to say they personally met a
police officer.
- Students are more likely to retain what they learn at a special assembly;
one that takes place outside of their regular classroom
routine.
