On Tuesday, December 10, the Kingsford Public Safety School Liaison, Officer Olson, addressed the English 12 classes about issues related to Homeland Security. Students learned that even though the city of Kingsford seems far removed from the politics of the Patriot Act, the Patriot Act plays a role in the lives of ALL citizens in the United States, including Kingsford. Officer Olson’s presentation offered students perspective to compare and contrast the role of the U.S. government in the 21st Century and the role of the government in George Orwell’s 1984. Providing students the opportunity to interact with the KPS School Liaison in the classroom allows students to foster communication and build trust with local law enforcement that results in a safer, more informed community.
