        The Arcola Daycare welcomed Cst. Lucas on Friday, May 13, where they learned about police officers and had the opportunity to inspect an RCMP vehicle.
               Lucas arrived with colouring books and stickers, but captured the youths’ attention when her radio went off. The youth even had the opportunity to wish Staff Sergeant Simons a good day back at the detachment.
               Speaking to the youth she explained that police officers are there to help people when they’re in trouble. The emergency contact number, 911, was discussed and the kids understood that this number is only to be used if they’re in trouble and that the closest police station to Arcola is in Carlyle.
               The kids then eagerly put on their jackets as they headed outside to see the police truck Cst. Lucas was driving that day. They happily explored the truck, squishing in the back seat and front. They tested out the sirens and marvelled at the lights flashing. It was a great day for the youngsters as they learned and explored with Cst. Lucas.
