ABOUT:
Freeze, Fives, Saves Lives!
For decades, communities have been instructing children to “Stop, Drop and Roll” should they encounter a fire. Similarly, children need to be taught the proper protocol to have a positive interaction with law enforcement.
This book explains the role of police officers and provides a behavior tool in the form of a fun, easy to remember phrase, all through a light-hearted conversation among three young friends.
The story unfolds when a police officer interrupts the children’s discussion, and Jared expresses his fear and desire to run. Tyler quickly explains that the officer is his father and there is no need to be afraid. Tyler’s dad gets to the bottom of Jared’s fear, explains why it is misguided, and how to properly respond to an officer. The friends have fun practicing the mantra “Freeze, Fives, Saves Lives!”
