An event for children with the support of the Famagusta Police Directorate was held in Paralimni.
As Steve Theodoulou, Assistant Head of Paralimni Police Station and Press Officer of the Famagusta Police Directorate, told the Cyprus News Agency, "On Wednesday, June 15, from 6 p.m. to 8.30 p.m., a fun event for children was held at the old football field of the Paralimni Youth Union. The event was organized by the Association of Private Kindergartens of Paralimni with the support of the Famagusta Police Department, as part of the efforts made to strengthen police-public relations and to promote the human face of the Police, especially to children".
He added that "the event was attended by about 800 people, parents and children and included various entertainment programmes such as shadow theatre, balloon making, face painting, mascots, gymnastics activities and others".
The event was supported by the Famagusta Police Department "which participated with the operation of a booth and the use of the mobile enlightenment unit where its members distributed information material on road safety and the prevention of offences against property especially during the summer holidays. At the pavilion there were also service vehicles of the Police, namely bicycles and motorcycles, which the children had the opportunity to see up close and take pictures."
According to Mr. Theodoulou "during the personal contact of the members of the Famagusta Police Department with parents and children, they provided advice on road safety and the necessity of using a child seat as part of the efforts made by the Police to raise awareness on this issue and thus prevent road collisions and their consequences. The members of the Famagusta Police Department also offered gifts to the children from the Road Safety Department and the Crime Prevention Office."
