Police in Schools Program

The Police in Schools program was piloted in 1998 at Elizabeth College in the State's south. Due to the overwhelming success, many other colleges are now participating in the program.

The program involves sworn police officers (many volunteering) performing duties and simply letting their presence be known in colleges nominated by the Department of Education.

The objective of this program is to strengthen the relationship between Police and young people resulting in outcomes beneficial to the whole community.

For more information about the program, contact District Community Policing.
