Limerick Kids Education Programme led by members of an Garda Siochana and Limerick FC
Pat O’Sullivan, chairman of Limerick FC has supported a new Limerick Kids Education Programme in association with gardai from Henry Street station.
The new pilot scheme Garda Operational Alliance Learning (GOAL) endeavors to improve An Garda Síochána’s approach to teaching national school students policing topics. The programme encourages Limerick youth to get more involved in sporting activities, as a deter from crime.
Concerns such as road traffic safety and crime prevention, to name but a few, have been altered by Gardaí and linked to soccer training drills.
Henry Street Garda Station community policing unit has developed a partnership with Limerick Football Club to educate and raise awareness to national school students of these policing policies and objectives.
