The school liaison officers also work in partnership with the school administrators and outside agencies including ICBC, Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) and Delta Youth Services to provide presentations to both youth and their parents. Presentations that have been provided to the community in recent years include forums on drinking and driving, drugs, bullying and youth violence »see Youth Safety Resources.
By maintaining a balance of education and enforcement initiatives the school liaison officers continue to provide Delta students with a safe learning environment and the tools for success in life.
