Greetings!
I wanted to let you know that Pentwater Public Schools has been awarded a School Resource Officer (SRO) grant! There are still details that Chief Hartrum and I have to work out, but we are planning on having a resource officer in the building by next fall!
When schools and law enforcement agencies work together, it increases the ability of law enforcement agencies, schools, and community groups to work together in developing innovative, systemic, long-term approaches to reducing and preventing different kinds of crime in and around their schools and preventing unnecessary law enforcement involvement in non-criminal student misbehavior. By implementing strategies such as providing an SRO, we are able to:
focus on targeted crimes, thereby improving the quality of life for those affected (students, teachers, school personnel, and parents),
promoting a safer environment that is conducive for learning, and decreasing the fear of crime and violence among students, school employees, and the surrounding community
Other schools in our area who also received the grant were Shelby, Hart, MCE, Ludington Elementary and WSESD.
This is great news for our area schools!
