*LANSING, MICH.? *Michigan students will soon benefit from the addition of 30 police officers recently trained in the Teaching, Educating, and Mentoring (TEAM) School Liaison Program. ?The Michigan State Police (MSP) hosted the four-day training, which concluded Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022. ?

TEAM is a school-based, law-related curriculum that is 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, and public speaking. ?

In addition to traditional topics like personal safety, how to dial 911, the law and you, and dating violence, the TEAM curriculum has been updated to address the topic of school safety and security including facility assessments, bullying and harassment, cyber-crime, social media use, illicit drugs, and vaping.?
