The West Orange Police Department Visits BGCWO

The West Orange Police Department took some time to visit our after-school programs at Hazel, Washington, Gregory, and Pleasantdale to talk about safety!  As times seem to be getting worse all around us, there is no better time to talk "safety" to our kids.  

Officers Tim Groves, Herbert Grenadas, and Jason Padilla teamed up at our 4 sites talking about stranger danger and how to keep safe when the children are at the parks or walking home.  They also spoke about their uniforms and protective gear that helps them fight crime in the neighborhood.  The children remained attentive throughout each session and asked many great questions to the police officers.

Each and every year we invite the West Orange Police Department into our program.  We want to thank them for taking the time to talk to our kids as we all encourage our kids to stay safe in our community!
