✔ Step-by-Step Solution Guide
####
Step 1: Interview Four Older People
You are asked to talk to
four older people (e.g., grandparents, neighbors, teachers) about:
- When they needed police help.
- What kind of situation it was (e.g., theft, emergency, accident, harassment).
- How the police responded (were they helpful, quick, respectful?).
> 📝 For each person, write down their response in one of the four boxes provided. Include their name at the bottom of each box.
Example Entry:
> Last year, my house was broken into while I was away. I called the police immediately. They arrived within 15 minutes, checked the scene, and gave me advice on securing my home. They were very professional and kind.
> *Name: Mrs. Johnson*
Repeat this for three more people.

Step 2: Answer the Reflection Question
At the bottom of the page, there’s a personal question:
>
"What is your (or anyone in your family) experience with police officers? Was it pleasant or otherwise, share your experience!"
Write a short paragraph describing:
- A time you or someone close to you interacted with police.
- Whether it was positive or negative.
- What happened and how it made you feel.
Example Answer:
> My dad once called the police when our car was hit by another vehicle at a stop sign. The officers arrived quickly, took photos, wrote down details, and helped us file a report. They were polite and patient. It was a pleasant experience because they made sure we felt safe and informed.
