These students may still be years away from a driver's license, but the Phoenix Police Department held their annual Youth Experience Summer Camp to start teaching them what they need to know well before they get behind the wheel. abc15
Operation Safe Roads spent the morning with kids as they wrapped up their time at the Phoenix Police Youth Experience Summer Camp. This day's focus was on traffic education."Being drunk is very weird," Smith, who is about 9 and a half years away from the legal drinking age, laughed."It felt like you were big or small or like everything was small around you or like you couldn't focus on anything.
The Phoenix Police Foundation hosted the week-long event to wrap up the summer break to help students learn safe road habits and show how difficult it is to text and talk while on the road. The Mountain View Precinct also gave 7th- and 8th-graders a peek at cop cars and SWAT vehicles to show what tools are used during a traffic stop.
Thomas told ABC15 that students are exposed to different areas of the department with possible careers -- everything from canine work to traffic safety, and even forensics. The department hopes it is something the participants will remember as they grow up with a career or just something they think about on their commute in our community.
