MPPD Start Trading Card Campaign

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — Morris Plains police are encouraging township children to meet local police officers, starting a "Trading Card Campaign."

The cards are similar to baseball cards, with a photo of the officer on the front and a short biography on the back. Officers will carry the cards while they're on duty, and the first four children to collect all of them will win a prize from Police Chief Jason Kohn.

The program is open for kindergarteners through eighth graders.

Police shared the rules:

• Approach the police officer only when they are not busy.
• When you approach a police officer, do so as if you would any other adult, using words, "excuse me and thank you."
• If the police officer is engaged in conversation, please wait until they are finished.
• Do not chase police cars. If cars drive down your street wait until they stop, or for another opportunity.
• In addition to meeting the officers on the street, many officers spend time at Police Headquarters, so feel free to stop down and meet them.
• There is no deadline for collecting the cards.
• Remember, this is a great opportunity to meet the officers of the Morris Plains Police Department. Parents are encouraged to bring the children to meet the officers, however do not pick cards up for your children.
• Age range: Kindergarten through 8th Grade only.
