WHY IS A POLICE OFFICER IN OUR SCHOOLS

Police School Liaison and School Resource Officers are in our schools to answer questions on law enforcement and to assist students, parents and teachers with problems or situations that may come up.  Each officer has an open door policy and welcomes contact with each and every student.

The word "liaison" means working together - students, parents, teachers, and police - in a united effort to help students who might get into difficulties. Getting to know one another is the greatest way in the world to prevent problems before they develop.

The Liaison program in Fond du Lac has one goal: To prevent delinquency by providing youth with the resources and services they need to stay out of trouble.

It is based on the premise that:

• Students will develop a positive attitude towards their community and the law through constructive contact with police.
• Early intervention can divert delinquent - prone and pre - youth from the juvenile and criminal justice system.
• With the growing trend of violence and crime in which youth are both victims and perpetrators, it is imperative to have police resources readily available.
