cars
moving safely. They take care of
people who are hurt. Then they see these people
get to a doctor.
The police go around town
to see that everything is all right. They get
around town in many ways.
Some of them
walk or go by car. In some big
cities
，
some of the police
ride on horses. It is strange to
see
these animals in the street.
As they go
around town
，
the police help
people. Sometimes they find lost children. They
take the
children home. If the police
see a fight
，
they put an end
to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the
police how to get to a place in town.
The police can always tell the people which way to
go. They know
all the streets and roads
well.
Some police stand at crossings. They
tell the cars when to go and when to stop. They
make sure
that the cars do not go too
fast. They help children cross the street. They
also help people who can't
walk too
well.
Without the
police
，
our streets would not
be safe. Cars might go too fast and hurt people.
Lost
people might never be found. The
police do a good job. We need them. And we should
thank them for
a job well done.
