Kidz Printz Collector Trading Cards depicting department members in their various duties are beneficial for both the Force and the general public for the following reasons. Educate the public about the departments and its' different units. An excellent public relations and crime prevention tool, especially since they provide crucial contact numbers on the back of the card. Good promotional tools for the department to be used in classrooms/daycare and public events attended by community policing members. A good way tobreak-the-ice and reach out to specific groups. Keepsakes/collector items for both adults and kids. Great souvenirs for tourists. Relatively inexpensive to produce and are cost-effective compared to other PR tools the departments use such as pins, cups and other collectibles. Light, portable and easily distributed. Simple yet eye-catching informative, and useful.
