This week, officers from the Columbus Division of Police's Gang Enforcement Unit made a special visit to the children at La Petite Academy in Worthington. The day was filled with smiles and laughter as the officers engaged with the students and their teachers, introducing them to Therapy Dog Maverick, reading stories through our Books & Badges program, and sharing insights into their lives as police officers.
The kids were thrilled to meet CPD Therapy Dog Maverick, who quickly became the star of the show with his gentle nature and friendly demeanor. The officers captivated the children with a great story about ocean creatures, and they even autographed the books, which the children were excited to take home as special keepsakes. The officers also took time to answer all their questions about policing.
We are incredibly grateful to the officers for taking time out of their day to connect with the next generation and to the staff at La Petite Academy for welcoming them so warmly. A special thanks also to the little ones who were such a joy to talk to and interact with!
