Drew's Flat Stanley

Drew sent his Flat Stanley to visit his Uncle Jake, who is a police officer. Flat Stanley learned a lot about what police officers do. Flat Stanley helped direct traffic at an accident scene. Flat Stanley learned it is important to always wear your seat belt!

Another day Flat Stanley was with Uncle Jake when he pulled over a car on a traffic stop. Police officers often pull over cars because the driver did something he or she shouldn't have done. Uncle Jake reminded the driver of the rules. Flat Stanley learned it is important to follow all the rules!

Flat Stanley also met a dispatcher. The dispatcher answers 9-1-1 calls and sends help to the caller. Flat Stanley learned that in an emergency you should call 9-1-1 for help.

Flat Stanley couldn't believe how much paper work Uncle Jake had to do! Uncle Jake says he spends a couple hours every day writing reports. This helps the officers know what happened during the day in case they have to go back and review it.

Flat Stanley had a great time with Uncle Jake!!! Thank you, Uncle Jake, for the police officer stickers!
