Police and traffic authorities present at the start of school at Hermann-Gmeiner Primary School to ensure safe school routes

In the bustling city of Hamm, the police are working tirelessly to ensure that children can safely travel to school. As the new school year begins, the safety of pupils on their way to school is a top priority, and the authorities are taking steps to raise awareness among parents and other road users about the special situation.

The police, in collaboration with the Hamm Traffic Safety Association, were present at Hermann-Gmeiner-Grundschule on Bonifatiusweg for a safety initiative. Officers from the traffic accident prevention unit and the Hamm Traffic Safety Association were on hand to provide guidance and support.

School principal Mrs. Petra Grünendahl welcomed the children and the participants, followed by Police Commissioner Bianca Widera's words. The aim of the initiative was to support the safety of pupils on their way to school and to remind road users to be extra vigilant in the coming weeks.

As a small token, the first-graders received reflective sports bags, which can be used in daily life and contribute to better visibility on the road. Road users are advised to adjust their speed and always anticipate unpredictable behavior from children.

The police are committed to the safety of children and work with partners to achieve this goal. More information can be found on the Police Headquarters Hamm's website: Police Headquarters Hamm or by contacting them at 02381 916-1006. Emails can be sent to the press office at [email protected].

Many children had shining eyes during the event, a testament to the importance of the initiative and the positive impact it had on them. The Head of the Polizeidirektion Hamm, although not explicitly named in the provided search results, is undoubtedly committed to ensuring the safety of young road users in the city.

The Hamm Traffic Safety Association is a strong partner in ensuring the safety of young road users. By working together, the police and the association aim to create a safer environment for children to travel to and from school, giving parents peace of mind and allowing children to focus on their education.
