Yesterday evening, March 12, the Old Lyme Police Union hosted the Lyme’s Youth Service Bureau – Youth Advisory Council to an evening of bowling at Saybrook Lanes. The Old Lyme Police Union had applied for and received a Mini-Grant from the Community Action For Substance Free Youth, which enabled the youth group and police officers to enjoy a fun, substance-free activity.
Several Old Lyme police officers have received specialized training in how to effectively interact with youth. These police officers continue to promote positive relationships with students at Lyme-Old Lyme High School.
The Old Lyme Police Union recognizes the importance of positive interaction with youth and looks to continue building these relationships through fun, safe, activities where police officers and youth can interact.
