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 21st at Crestview Community Center, 4801 SW Shunga Drive, from 10AM to 1PM
- Saturday July 19th at 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.
