The Garda Schools Programme is a Department of Education and Skills led initiative which commenced in 1991, which is delivered by Garda Schools Programme trained Gardaí.
Programme aimed at pupils in 5th and 6th class in national school. Addresses issues such as road safety, role of Garda Síochana, personal safety, good citizenship, etc.
Interaction with children in schools, both primary and secondary is a very useful venue to communicate to young people on a range of subjects which teach children sensible and responsible patterns of behaviour.
Specially trained Gardaí in each Garda Division are tasked with the implementation of the Programme.
