Wallingford Police Announce ‘Every School, Every Day’ Initiative

WALLINGFORD, CT — (From the Wallingford Police Department): The Wallingford Police Department in cooperation with the Wallingford Public School District is announcing its participation in a new initiative put forth by the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association called “Every School, Every Day.”

The “Every School, Every Day” initiative directs officers to have a greater presence in all schools throughout the school day and after school activities. Our officers will be conducting random, unannounced visits to include walk-throughs during which officers will engage in positive interactions with students and faculty.

This initiative will be in addition to the presence our Community Police Division already have in our school systems on a daily basis. The three officers in this division will continue to spend a part of every day in the schools, interacting with the students and participating in lock-down drills.

“I am very pleased that the Wallingford Police Department is launching the ‘Every School, Every Day’ initiative,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Salvatore Menzo said. “This is yet another example of the commitment of the Wallingford Police Department to the Wallingford Public School District. Our collaboration is stronger than ever, and I am proud to be part of the team working to continue to address school and community safety.”
