The Public Security Police (PSP), anticipating the celebration of February 9 of the International Safer Internet Day, have launched a sensitization double-operation from 01 to 10 February,  to alert children and young people from 5 to 18 years the risks of the Internet and social networks.

To the youth of the 2, 3 and secondary cycle, PSP have developed the operation “Click Safety”, which will include awareness-raising actions that will address themes such as the protection of personal data, passwords and secure links, to the vulgar spam and phishing scams, all using content designed in partnership with PT Foundation.

For children in pre-school and 1st cycle, the PSP will present the new episode of the animated series “How I Do It says FALCO”, this time with the title “Igor and the Competition of Friendship”, which a particularly appealing and playful way proposes the same objectives, an innovative design and high preventive impact, which in year and a half has reached a universe of more than 150,000 children.

Following the unprecedented and global launch of an animation made by a security force with a commitment to advise children, the PSP achieved its primary objective to amplify the message further.

In the first 3 episodes of animation (passing in SIC K and RTP2) and assessing only the social networks, they have reached over 700,000 people with particular attention to the episode released yesterday and which has been viewed more than 21,000 times. About this Igor animation history, it should be noted the participation of Nuno Markl who provides the voice of Baltazar character.

The PSP expects this combined with the stories read at school by police and animation already available on YOU TUBE channel of the PSP and social networks (Facebook), reaching a total of 500,000 people.
