The Protects Project: Police Reading to Children.

Hayden, Ruth

Canadian Children, v22 n2 p16-17 Fall 1997

In the Police Reading Outloud to Educate Children through Stories (PROTECTS) project, officers read aloud to children in an Edmonton inner-city kindergarten during the school year. Participating officers reported a better understanding of urban school life and noted children's more positive image of law enforcement officials. Participating children appreciated the attention from a positive male role model. (LBT)
