Officers, Students, and Community Join the TEAM
School Liaison Program
We wanted to have a program that would be very interactive to help us build community and develop citizenship and positive character traits in our young people. We wanted it to focus on more than just drug and alcohol prevention, and we wanted to present scenarios that would let the kids make their own decisions.
~Sergeant Martin Miller, Grants and Community Services Division, Michigan State Police
The Teaching, Educating, and Mentoring School Liaison Program (TEAM) is a school-based, law-related education program taught by specially trained law enforcement officers. TEAM is a proactive effort to make schools and communities safer, promote responsible citizenship, and encourage positive character traits. The program can be tailored to something as brief as one session on an area of particular need for a school or expanded to a longer series of sessions on a variety of topics. The program helps build a relationship between the community and local law enforcement, and school administrators know whom to contact if they have an issue.
Overdose Death Rates by State
