New School Officer -Implementation of Drug and Gang Resistance Programs

New School Officer
October 20, 2011

The Lindenwold Police Department has recently assigned Officer Andy Tweedley as our Crime Prevention/School Liaison Officer. Officer Tweedley has been with the Lindenwold Police Department for nine years and has been a valuable asset to the Patrol Division.
Starting with this school year he will be reinstituting the “D.A.R.E.” program and also initiating the “G.R.E.A.T.” program. The “G.R.E.A.T.” program is new to our schools and will be taught in both the Elementary and Middle Schools. “G.R.E.A.T.” stands for Gang Resistance Education and Training; the program’s vision is “Building Safer Communities One Child at a Time”. The program’s mission is to “Prevent Youth Crime, Violence, and Gang Involvement”. The goal of the G.R.E.A.T. Program is to help youth develop positive life skills that will help them avoid gang involvement and violent behavior.
Officer Tweedley will also be developing and researching additional programs with the goal to help students of all grade levels understand the dangers of drug and gang activity; allowing them to reach their full potential as positive contributing members of our society.
Officer Tweedley can be reached at (856) 784-7566 ext. 406.
