Bridgeport-Spaulding Community District plans to spend COVID funds to buy and implement security technology “that includes body temperature monitoring, monitoring for social distancing in high-traffic areas where individuals congregate.”
Last week, the Michigan State Police provided training for the Teaching, Educating, and Mentoring School Liaison Program for about 30 police officers.
TEAM is a curriculum taught to grades K-12 by TEAM-trained police officers to unite educators, students, and law enforcement officers to better equip children to protect themselves from crime. The curriculum includes school safety and security, facility assessments, bullying and harassment, cybercrime, social media use, illicit drugs, and vaping.
This class included 30 officers, including two from MSP, 14 from sheriff’s offices, and 10 from township and city police departments. TEAM allows officers to teach at any of the three levels of education. The curriculum has been used in more than 250 Michigan school districts.
