Please join us in congratulating our incredible School Resource Officer, Officer Tom Freeman of the Napoleon Township Police Department, on successfully graduating from the Michigan State Police TEAM School Liaison Program, alongside 25 other officers from across Michigan!
The TEAM program is a school-based, law-related curriculum designed for students in grades K–12 and taught by specially trained law enforcement officers. The program brings together educators, students, and law enforcement to help young people make safe, informed decisions and protect themselves from crime.
As part of the intensive 40-hour training, officers receive instruction in student and juvenile psychology, classroom management, and public speaking. The curriculum covers important topics such as personal safety, how to call 911, the law and you, and dating violence, while also addressing today’s evolving school safety concerns, including:
• School safety and security
• Bullying and harassment
• Cybercrime and social media
• Illicit drugs and vaping
• Facility safety assessments
We are incredibly proud to have Officer Freeman serving our students and community! His commitment to building positive relationships with students and helping keep our schools safe is truly appreciated.
Congratulations, Officer Freeman! Thank you for your dedication to our students, our schools, and the Napoleon community! 🏴☠️
