School officer honoured in a student assembly I’ve been following the school liaison officer stories with interest, since I held this assignment with the Victoria Police Department for three years in
the 1980s. Like Chief Del Manak, I regard this work as some of the most rewarding in my 30-year career.
I supervised, with parents and teachers, at school dances — and took a few turns on the floor myself. I took my lumps from kids on the outdoor basketball court at Warehouse — in my uniform. Now, I know it’s not 1985 anymore. But the human rights commissioner’s recommendation to kill the program everywhere does not jibe with my experience, and clearly not with the Sooke School District’s, Saanich PD’s, who continue their program, or VicPD, who just need the funding to support it.Speaking with experience, liaison officers are a help Re: “Call for halt to school-liaison officers questioned,” Nov. 29.
I was a principal at an inner-city school where a large part of the student population would fit into Govender’s description of “marginalized.” Those liaison officers were invaluable. Does she not understand how the presence of police officers provide not only a sense of security but also function as role models for young boys and girls? Is the commissioner not aware of the multitude of studies that show that young males without a male presence in the home or in their lives are most at risk for committing acts of violence toward fellow students and teachers?
Communication is the foundation of civilized society and anything that promotes clear, respectful understanding between people of any age, culture, or societal construct should be a core part of all education experiences. To some, their home is a big investment and they want to squeeze every nickel they can at the time of resale. To others, this is about the sanctity of the home and the belief that renters are akin to soccer hooligans.
