On day 2 of our annual Choice Program Officer Training, our officers got to learn from partnered leaders in the community about topics from speaker tips for fostering impactful interactions with youth to teen cyber security safeguards. We were honored to have Sgt. Detective Janine Busby and Officer Alexander Reyes of the School Engagement Unit come from @bostonpolice to share their wisdom on mentorship for students from all backgrounds.

Our new Choice Officers attended East Boston High School for a presentation to multiple classes on social media safety tips, cyber bullying, and Criminal Offender Report Information (“CORI”) laws. They also answered student questions about the function and daily operations of the Sheriff’s Department in preparation for East Boston High School’s criminal justice class field trip to the Suffolk County Jail. We look forward to hosting the young scholars at their upcoming tour, and thank their class teacher, Dan Foreman, for the continued partnership in inspiring the next generation of civil leaders!

SCSD joined @bostonpolice at the invitation of Community Choice Officer Corrina Sheppard for a Senior Safety Presentation with TD Bank @tdbank_us. Hosted at the BCYF Vine Street Community Center, Senior viewers in attendance were given safety tips and fraud prevention advice from their public safety officials — just another way our Department commits to providing holistic safety in the Suffolk community. 👮 Thank you, @tdbank_us and @bostonpolice for having us! 💙 #WeAreSCSD #SafetyTips #SeniorSafety #TDBank
