On Thursday the 26th of January, Room 12 were lucky to be visited by our local community garda, Brian. Brian works out of Coolock Garda station. He was visiting us to encourage us to behave in a safe manner at all times and to tell us the role of the Gardai in our community.
We showed us all of his equipment like his badge, his handcuffs, his asp and pepper spray. Frankie got to try on his protective vest and Brian passed around his Garda cap to all of the children. There were quite a few children who were very shy to try it on!!
Kian and Iseult both got to try on the handcuffs. He handcuffed Kian behind his back and showed us how hand it was for Kian to move once Brian was holding on to the cuffs. We watched a slideshow that showed us the different roles of the community garda and also all of the different modes of transport that they can use. It was a really interesting morning.
