BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the past year the police department has been involved in assisting
the Kennedy Community School with a part time officer in the school. This is usually one of the day
officers who will stop in from time to time and interact with students and staff. In the past we have had
dinner with the students, spoken to the students on a number of different topics including alcohol and
drugs. Attended special events and taken part in lockdowns and other drills. We have also responded
to the school for students that are out of control or are acting out.
We have an excellent working relationship with Principal Moeller and her stiff. We look forward to
working with them again during the next school year.
