Parents are preparing for a digital race to sign up their children for the "Little Police Experience Camp" hosted by the Taichung City Police Bureau. Last year, the highly sought-after event had a mere 4% acceptance rate, making it more challenging to secure a spot than concert tickets. This year's event, scheduled for July 11, will offer 192 slots for children aged 5 to 8, divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The camp aims to let more children fulfill their dream of becoming a police officer for a day. Participants will don miniature police uniforms and ride mini police motorcycles, experiencing the daily duties of law enforcement. This year's program includes a "real combat" demonstration by the SWAT team, showcasing their tactical skills, and a drug-sniffing and search performance by the popular police dog unit. The event also incorporates crime prevention and personal safety education through six interactive challenges. Upon completion, children will receive a certificate and a souvenir. Registration opens on June 6 and closes on June 15, exclusively through the "Taichung Police Women and Children Police" Facebook page. Winners will be selected via a computer lottery on June 16.

Parents are preparing to compete with their speed. Last year's acceptance rate was only about 4%, making it even more difficult than grabbing hot concert tickets.
