April 12th, 2019
On Friday, April 12th, the Dudley Police Department participated in another “High Five Friday.” Officers were at Mason Road School to offer “High Fives” to students on their way in on the last day before the April Vacation Break. The goal of this program is to:
• To Promote Positive interaction with school children and Police Officers
• Add to the sense of security for faculty, students and parents
• Build trust
• Reduce fear
• Foster positive relationships
• View Police Officers as guardians and part of the community
• Allow Officers to gain a greater sense of friendship with faculty, students and parents
This program enhances many of the positive collaborations with the local schools and the Dudley Police Department. School Resource Officer Phil Megas worked to coordinate this event. The plan is to continue these at other schools in town at various times during the year. The Dudley Police wish to thank Principal Jennifer Desto and her staff for working on this and many programs at the school. They also wish to thank Superintendent Nash and all the principals from each of the Dudley Schools for their assistance promoting various initiatives throughout the years.
