An awareness program to educate children to prevent themselves from becoming victims.

Sri Lanka Police has carried out a number of awareness programs in schools islandwide to make the students aware on the grounds that the number of reported crimes in relation to children has increased.
The community policing division, together with “Peace,” a nongovernmental organization, successfully conducted a program as such on 20.11.2024 morning in front of Colombo Fort Railway Station for 150 students of selected schools in Colombo Central Division.
The officers who organized the program have taken action to educate the children through dramatic presentations on how a criminal with an intention of committing a crime attempts to manipulate a child, how a child should escape from such a situation, and to whom they should inform.
Apart from the school children, the people gathered around were also seen participating in this program with great enthusiasm.
