‘March is Reading Month’ was celebrated last month by the Plymouth Township Police Department “Books and Badges” program, led by School Resource Ofc. Joe Smitherman. Police officers, including Chief James Knittel, accepted 50 invitations to read to students. “These positive interactions were also an excellent opportunity to let our students know that the police are here to help them and keep them safe. We estimate that over 1,200 students and teachers were positively impacted by this community program,” officials posted on social media.
