He's a third generation Haslett grad, and his own kids will be the fourth. When he joined the Meridian Township Police Department, he set a goal for himself: someday he'd be the officer in these buildings. When the job opened, he went after it.\nIn this episode, I sit down with Kolby to talk about what a school resource officer actually does. We get into the day to day of the role, how he navigates the line between a school discipline matter and a criminal one, and what the DARE program looks like today compared to when most of us went through it. We talk about school safety, what the department learns from drills and from false alarms, and what he wishes families understood about how much happens behind the scenes.\nWe also talk about relationships, which he'll tell you are the whole foundation of the job. Kids don't ask for help from someone they don't trust.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3IkLZCn_vPnPM5d8W6hirYzYaEh9sGt_YzUOPL7WX1s/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NThk/NzNiODA3MjA4ZmNj/MTc3N2M5Y2I3Yzcx/OWRjNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
