SEPT. 28 AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
LETS COPS AND KIDS MIX AND HAVE FUN

Here's an opportunity for a bit of learning and fun in a program from the Omaha Police Department's Northeast Community Resource Center.

After school on Monday, Sept. 28, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., fifth- and sixth-graders are invited to come to the Salem Children's Center, 3131 Lake Street, on the south side of the church building, for "Cops & Kids." The children will talk with police officers, learn about police work, role-play realistic situations that police face every day, and increase positive police–community relations.

Participants are responsible for their own transportation. There'll be a light meal served to the youth during the program. Reservations are due by Thursday, Sept. 24, by calling 444.3367.
