Topeka Police to provide Car Stop Education to High School Students and Parents

The Topeka Police Department will be hosting car stop training to local high school students and their parents this summer. Students will learn what to do if pulled over by a Topeka Police Officer. Interactions with the police can be a stressful and intimidating experience for community members. The training sessions will allow students to interact with instructors and experience what a car stop might look like, both from the driver's perspective as well as the Officer's in both a classroom setting as well as a mock car stop in the parking lot.

There will be two sessions available for students and their parents to sign up.

• Saturday June 21stat Crestview Community Center, 4801 SW Shunga Drive, from 10AM to 1PM

• Saturday July 19that the Law Enforcement Center, 320 S. Kansas Ave, from 4PM to 7PM

To sign up, students and their parents may contact Sergeant Mike Burns at 785-368-2401 or mdburns@topeka.org.
