The Police Liaison Program is a joint effort between the schools and the Mundelein Police Department in which officers are assigned to Mundelein High School and Carl Sandburg Junior High during the school year.
The purpose of the Liaison Officer is to be a positive role model to the students of the school. The youth of the community spend roughly eight hours per day in school, and this provides the officer with an opportunity to get to know these teenagers. The Police Liaison is available to the students and staff in the same manner as a school counselor.
In addition, their other duties include but are not limited to:
Classroom presentations
Investigations where a violation of the law exists
Acts as a source of information for students and parents seeking help through social service agencies
Assistance in truancy problems
Security and supervision at extra-curricular events
Breaking down barriers and building bridges between students and the police.
In addition, our Liaison Officer also facilitates the Peer Jury Program.
