A key element to forging this trust is by maintaining open lines of communication. The Public Relations Team is a group of officers who voluntarily attend neighborhood events. In a meet and greet fashion, officers and attendees are able to speak in an informal, relaxed setting which promotes an understanding of the many services provided by school police officers. This personalized relationship building platform has elevated the positive rapport with the school-aged children and has served as a wonderful introduction to parents and students who have not yet entered the PBC school system. The PR Team has helped to bridge the gap and connect with our kid and our community, and promote the department by putting our best foot forward.
