FiledMay 28th, 2020Franklin County Public Schools (FCPS) and the Rocky Mount Police Department (RMPD) hereby enter into the School-Law Enforcement Partnership (SLEP) to foster relations of mutual respect and understanding in order to build a positive and safe school environment. The parties agree that the vast majority of student misconduct can be best addressed through classroom and in-school strategies. The parties acknowledge that students are generally less mature and responsible than adults. They often lack the maturity, experience, perspective, and judgment to recognize and avoid choices that could be detrimental to them and they are more susceptible to outside pressures than adults.
