Taichung police launch 'Little Police Experience Camp' for young aspiring officers

The Taichung City Police Bureau's Taiping Precinct is inviting children to step into the shoes of law enforcement with its "Little Police Experience Camp." Building on the success of previous years, the precinct has organized four sessions to allow more youngsters a close-up look at the work of police officers.

The camp, scheduled for June 27 and July 4, will accommodate 40 children per session. Participants will engage in four main activities: "Little Traffic Police Vanguard," "Super Marksman," "Little Harley Dynamic Experience," and "Forensic Detective." Each station will feature a stamp collection card to add an element of fun, with small prizes awarded to those who complete all challenges.

Registration opens on June 8 and runs until June 12. The camp is open to children aged 5 to 8 residing in Taichung's Taiping District. Successful applicants will be randomly selected via computer and announced on June 16. Precinct Chief Li Jue-min stated that the camp, part of the summer youth program, aims to educate children about the responsibilities and hard work of police officers. It also seeks to instill early concepts of law-abiding behavior and traffic safety, fostering positive values for the future.

We hope to use fun and educational methods to help children understand the hard work and responsibility of police work, and to establish concepts of law-abiding behavior and traffic safety from a young age, allowing these little seeds to continue to shine and glow.
