Otto the Auto

            Otto the Auto is presented in cooperation with the North Jersey Automobile Club. A representative of the North Jersey Automobile Association and a Fair Lawn Police Officer visit children from grades K-3 at the request of a school or club and speak to the children regarding pedestrian safety on an age appropriate level. The presentation consists of a " conversation" between Otto, who is a minature talking police car and the Officer about safety. It is then followed by an age appropriate film provided by the North Jersey Automobile Club which shows an accident involving a little boy ( the film cuts out before the actual impact, so as not to upset the children). A discussion is held between a representative of the North Jersey AA, the officer and the children on how the accident could have been prevented. Important safety rules are also emphasized. Pictured above are P.O. Stephen Cannizzaro and Sgt. Robert Boyle of the Community Policing Unit, Otto, and two of our little students.  For more information please contact Mr. Steven Rajczyk of the North Jersey Automobile Club at 973-956-2243
