The Navi Mumbai Traffic Police have launched the 'Police Adopt a School: Police Child Safety Campaign' to promote road safety among students through weekly awareness sessions, mock road demonstrations and the Junior Traffic Police programme. The initiative also includes training for school bus staff and aims to improve traffic discipline across the city.

Navi Mumbai, July 16: The Navi Mumbai Traffic Police have launched the 'Police Adopt a School: Police Child Safety Campaign' across the commissionerate to instil road safety awareness among schoolchildren and foster stronger ties between the police and the community.

Schools To Be Adopted

The initiative, introduced under the Road Safety and Child Safety Initiative 2026, comes in response to rapid urbanisation, expanding infrastructure and increasing traffic congestion in the city. The objective is to inculcate traffic discipline among children from an early age while encouraging them to become responsible road users and ambassadors of road safety within their families.

Under the programme, every traffic division in Navi Mumbai will adopt schools within its jurisdiction. A Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) or another designated officer will serve as the nodal officer for each school and will be required to visit at least once every week to conduct interactive awareness sessions.
