We talk to children about speaking to strangers but rarely do we talk to them about speaking to public authority figures such as police officers. In the United States, thousands of minors are contacted by police every day.

The Police and Me is a great conversation starter with kids to assist them in learning about laws, authority, police duties, and what to do when they come into contact with police. The earlier kids have this conversation, the better it will be for everyone.
