1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: When I grow up, I want to be a police officer.

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: What does being a police officer mean to you? They

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: catch thieves and help people. They are very brave and

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: wear a uniform.

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: When I grow up, I want to be a pilot

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: with a uniform white, always flying high up in the sky.

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: When I grow up, I want to be a firefighter

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: putting out planes, or maybe a police officer keeping people safe.

9
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: It's so fun to learn what you can be growing up,

10
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: growing up. When I grow up, I want to be

11
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: an artist that paints for trips. Want to be a

12
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: scientist that does expect events. Oh, so many people you

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: will be growing up? Growing up? Yeah, growing up.

14
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: Growing growing Hi and welcome to Growing Up with Emily,

15
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: a Lingo kids podcast helping amazing kids to grow up

16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: and be even more amazing. And Emily, it's me.

17
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: You know.

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: As a kid, I was always asked what do you

19
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: want to be when you grow up? I wanted to

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: be so many things. Does that sound familiar?

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 5: Then?

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad you are listening, because you're going to find

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: out what it takes to be anything you want. Are

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: you ready to make public safety your superpower?

25
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Growing grow in Up Bay?

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: Last episode we met Fernando, a real musician. Today is

27
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: an exciting day. We're attending a parade to see how

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: police officers help keeping safe. Do you like to help people?

29
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: If you've dreamed of being a police officer, you don't

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: want to miss this episode. Today we're going to meet

31
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: a real police officer. Right now, the streets are very crowded.

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 3: Let's find a spot to watch a little of the parade.

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Rowan up, rowing up.

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: Did you know that police officers not only wear a uniform,

35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: they carry up to thirty pounds or thirteen point six

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: kilograms of gear on a heavy duty belt. Ooh. In

37
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: the US, about twelve out of every one hundred police

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: officers are women. Marie Owens was America's first female police officer.

39
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: She was hired in eighteen ninety to serve in the

40
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: city of Chicago. Police help the public and keep order.

41
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: They try to prevent crimes, and sometimes they have to

42
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: arrest criminals. Of course, they aren't the only ones in

43
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: law enforcement. You may see private security officers outside of

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: stores or banks. Also, the military has its own police force.

45
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 5: Here come the fire trucks.

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: Firefighters are called first responders. American firefighters are medically trained.

47
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: That's why they show up to an accident even when

48
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: there is no fire.

49
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Look, there's a guy in the middle of the parade route.

50
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: He's trying to take a photo. That's not safe.

51
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: The police officer is blowing his whistle and pointing for

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: him to move so nobody gets hurt. Hey, here's a joke.

53
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: Why are traffic police these strongest people in the world.

54
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: H I don't know why, because they can stop a

55
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: truck by holding up a hand. Here comes an ambulance

56
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: and behind it are nurses and doctors from the local hospital.

57
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: They're's austing oranges to people. I caught one. We can

58
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 5: share it.

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: Oh, here are two police officers on horses.

60
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: The horses are so big.

61
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: I know this allows the officers to see more. They

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: can move through a crowd more easily than being in

63
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: a car.

64
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 6: I'd love to ride a horse. They're stopping. Let's go

65
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 6: see if we can pet one, and maybe we can

66
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 6: interview a woman.

67
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: Officer. Are you ready to meet a real police officer?

68
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, let's go.

69
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: What about that woman?

70
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 6: Her badge says officer aw them referred.

71
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: Hi officer Autumn. I'm with Lingo kids, and we want

72
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: to find out what it takes to be a police officer.

73
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: Can we ask some questions?

74
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I was a full time police officer. I am

75
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: now a part time police officer because I was injured

76
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: in the line of duty. So I still do some

77
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 4: police work and a community of policing capacity. And what

78
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: I do now is I coach women in law enforcement

79
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: to be the best officers that they can possibly be.

80
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so your second job is to help women

81
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: build their confidence.

82
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: It is actually my full time business that I'm a

83
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: life coach for female first responders. And the reason I've

84
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: done that is because it can be very scary to

85
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: go out and do this job. We have to learn

86
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 4: how to defend ourselves. We have to learn how to

87
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: use a firearm to protect others and protect the good

88
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: people of our communities, and we have to learn how

89
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: to stay calm at all times.

90
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: Who are the first responders?

91
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: So a first responder is somebody who's on the front line.

92
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: So what that means is like frontlines in our communities,

93
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: so if something goes wrong, they're there. So let's say

94
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: you get into a crash, right, the first responders that

95
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: are going to be there, it's going to be the

96
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: police are coming. Then you're going to have a fire

97
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: truck is going to come, and then you're going to

98
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 4: have the medical technicians that'll come, and if you're hurt,

99
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: they're going to take you into the ambulance and they're

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: going to take you to the hospital and make sure

101
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: that you get better and get the help that you need.

102
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 3: Autumn, what would you say are three things all police

103
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: officers need?

104
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: Well, the first thing is is a police officer must

105
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: be able to speak and write clearly. So we talk

106
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: to a lot of different people, so communication is a

107
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: really big deal. We always are writing reports, so everything

108
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: that we do we record and we write down, so

109
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: being able to write clearly is very important. The second

110
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: thing is we are trained problem solvers, so as police

111
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: officers were always trying to solve problems, so it's important

112
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: that a police officer is good at solving problems. The

113
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: third thing is that a police officer always wants to

114
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: remain calm.

115
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Really interesting, Okay, So we also receive some excellent questions

116
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: from our Lingo kids listeners.

117
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: How fast can a police car go?

118
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: Well, the answer to this question is all different speeds,

119
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: So all police cars can go different speeds. But the

120
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: answer would be over one hundred miles an hour.

121
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: That's one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour.

122
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: Officer Autumn. Uh, how do you find the bad guys?

123
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: Well, we look for them. There's all different ways that we,

124
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: you know, look for the you know, the bad guys.

125
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: We use dogs, which is really fun. That's a really

126
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: useful tool. They'll track them by smelling their sense. And

127
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: we talk to a lot of people and we ask

128
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: them a lot of questions, and that right there primarily

129
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: is how we find a lot of the bad guys.

130
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: Are you ever afraid?

131
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: I think every police officer is always afraid. It's just

132
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: we have to be courageous, which is we feel that fear,

133
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: but we continue to do our jobs anyway.

134
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I sometimes feel afraid, but I'm embarrassed to say it.

135
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 5: What can I do?

136
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: Well? I think that we should never be embarrassed to

137
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: say how we feel. I think it's very important to

138
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: always name how we are feeling. You see, when we

139
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: don't talk about our feelings, we kind of shove them

140
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: down and that causes us to feel really bad. So

141
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 4: we want to always be able to say, Okay, I'm

142
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: feeling a certain way, but don't let it stop us.

143
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: Did you ever get a chance to ride a horse?

144
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: I did not, and where I live, which is in Maine,

145
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: we don't have that. We don't have horses. It's called

146
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: the mounted unit, and we don't have that. So unfortunately

147
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: I never have, but that would have been a really

148
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 4: cool job.

149
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 6: Officer, Autumn. What did you like best about being a

150
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 6: police officer.

151
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: I became a police officer to help people. I always

152
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: wanted to help other people and be a shoulder for

153
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: other people to lean on, and so I would say

154
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: that that is my favorite part of the job still

155
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 4: to this day.

156
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: How old were you when you decided to become a

157
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: police officer.

158
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: Well, I don't remember the age that I decided I

159
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: wanted to be a police officer. I'm also a second

160
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,199

161
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,040

00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,199

Speaker 3: up to become a police officer?

172
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,600

00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: So being a police officer is all about helping people.

174

175
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 4: was like twelve years old, and I would volunteer at

176
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: the local Humane society and walk the dogs. It really

177
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 4: is all about getting into the community when you were young,

178
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 4: because that's what you're going to be doing as a

179
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,400

00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 5: What else can I do?

182
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: The next time that you see someone get hurt or

183
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 4: have an argument, pay attention to all of the details.

184
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 4: Tell your parents, your teacher exactly what happened. See if

185
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,959
