TEAM is a school-based, law-related curriculum taught to grades K-12 by TEAM-trained police officers with the goal of uniting educators, students and law enforcement officers to better equip children to protect themselves from crime. During the 40-hour training course, officers receive instruction in student/juvenile psychology, classroom management, public speaking and Michigan law.   

In addition to traditional topics like personal safety, properly using 911, the law and you, and dating violence, the TEAM curriculum has been updated to address newer topics including school safety and security, bullying and harassment, cyber-crime, social media use, illicit drugs and vaping. 

This class included two sergeants and eight deputies from county sheriffs’ offices, and nine officers from city/village/township police departments. They represent the following agencies: 

• Allegan County Sheriff's Office
• Davison City Police Department
• Davison Township Police Department
• Fowlerville Police Department
• Grand Blanc Township Police Department
• Hazel Park Police Department
• Highland Park Police Department
• Isabella County Sheriff’s Office
• Mason County Sheriff's Office
• Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
• Oxford Village Police Department
• Plymouth Township Police Department
• Saginaw County Sheriff's Office

TEAM allows officers to teach at any of the three levels of education - elementary, middle or high school - public or private - aligning with the Michigan Model for Health. The curriculum has been implemented in over 250 Michigan school districts and in several states across the U.S.
