Fair Lawn police also brought the Officer Phil program to all of the borough’s elementary schools this year. Funded by area businesses, it teaches safety awareness to grades K-4.
Last week, Otto the Auto visited Lyncrest School. AAA North Jersey hosted the program, which teaches K-3 students roadway safety.
