Harish's first school road-safety patrols, known in Hebrew as Mishmarot HaZahav, began operating at Talmi Hadar School on Monday, 9 November 2026, the municipality announced.
Sixth-grade pupils were trained by community police officer Amir Abu Shkara on traffic rules and the duties of the role, and are now posted at crossings near the school. The station commander attended the launch. The programme follows the repainting of crosswalks near schools and classroom road-safety sessions.
Shvilei Betzavta, Mamlachti Betzavta and Kanfei Ruach girls' school are due to join within the week. Acting mayor Yochai Fara'ji called it a significant step towards a safe city for children, and deputy mayor Revital Gonen, who holds the education portfolio, said it gives pupils practical tools and responsibility from a young age.
