Liskeard School and Community College Partners with Police To Educate On Healthy Lifestyles & The Law

In a proactive step towards promoting drug awareness and healthy lifestyles among students, Liskeard School and Community College recently welcomed members of the local police force for an educational visit. The initiative, part of an ongoing collaboration between the school and law enforcement agencies, was aimed at educating students about healthy lifestyles and the law.

PCSO Bex Steed, accompanied by PC Steve Waters and Skye, a specially trained drugs detection dog. They were also joined by PC John Warren and DCC Alison Hernandez, the Devon & Cornwall Police Commissioner, highlighting the significance of the event.

During their visit, the team randomly selected classrooms from Years 9, 10, and 11 for interaction with the students. The police presence provided an invaluable opportunity for direct engagement with young people.

The visit was not only an educational exercise but also a subtle safety check. In a positive outcome, the school reported no issues, indicating a reassuring level of compliance and awareness among the students regarding drug-related matters.

Liskeard School expressed its delight in working closely with the police. This partnership underscores the school’s commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment for its students. The initiative also serves as an excellent example of community policing, where law enforcement engages constructively with educational institutions to foster a better understanding and respect for the law among young people.
