Join us for a reading of "The Police and Me," the best-selling children's book by Derrick Dotson. This engaging and educational event will introduce young readers and their families to a powerful tool that teaches children how to understand and safely interact with law enforcement.
"The Police and Me" has captured international attention for its clear, compassionate, and age-appropriate approach to a crucial topic, empowering kids and parents alike. Since its release, the book has sparked meaningful conversations in schools and communities, helping to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the public in a positive, educational way.
Through this reading and interactive Q&A session, which often includes participation from local police, the participants will hear directly from Derrick about the inspiration behind the book and his mission to build safer interactions with police, especially for marginalized communities.
For schools, police departments, and community organizations, this event is an invaluable opportunity to engage with a resource that promotes safety, trust, and mutual understanding. By participating, you'll not only support a national movement for police education reform but also give children in your community the tools they need to navigate real-life situations with confidence and awareness.
