PSA: Parent, PLEASE stop pointing at law enforcement and telling your kids "if you act up, that cop is going to take you to jail!". Not only is wildly inaccurate and inappropriate, it begins to tell your kids that law enforcement is to be feared. If, Lord forbid, your child gets lost, and they see a law enforcement officer, they will be less likely to approach us and even might run away from us if we approach them. We are here to serve our communities, and that is hard to do if the next generation has a negative association of law enforcement. Please educate your children. We are here to help, not harm.
