Meet Officer Rodriguez


Today I went to the Windermere Police Station to meet Officer Eli Rodriguez. Officer Rodriguez has been a police officer for five years.  Before joining the Windermere Police he worked for the Department of Homeland Security. I also met his leader, Sergeant Bonk. I went to the police station so I could ask some questions about how to stay safe in my community.

Question 1: What are some suggestions for staying safe at school?
Answer: Be aware of your surroundings. Especially, watch out for strangers. You can identify them if they don't have a name tag and you don't recognize them.

Question 2: What are some ways to stay safe in my town?
Answer: Be aware of your surroundings. Keep your windows and doors in your house locked on a daily basis. You can get a security system for your house with things like a camera and alarm.

Question 3: When I am 16 years old and learn to drive a car, how can I stay safe?
Answer: Be aware of your surroundings (again). Always wear your seatbelt. Pay attention to traffic signs and traffic lights. Keep your car in good condition.

In conclusion, I learned some good ways to stay safe in my community.  Also, I am thankful for police officers, like Officer Rodriguez, who keep our community safe!
