In East Meadow, Bowling Green students meet Nassau County Police Department

From armored vehicles to police horses, the Nassau County Police Department held a fun, interactive presentation for students in the East Meadow School District’s Extended School Year program on July 25.

The extended school year is a special education program for students with disabilities, that takes place during the summer months. It offers programming that is designed to help students meet goals defined by their individualized education programs.

Members of the police department lined up trucks and cars at Bowling Green Elementary School as students learned about police officers and their day-to-day duties.

In addition to touring the police cars and armored vehicles, students also got a hands-on experience about some of the police department’s equipment. Additionally, they shared thank-you cards with the police department to show gratitude for their local officers.

The district thanked the Nassau County Police Department for taking time to educate the students on their daily tasks and responsibilities.
