The Norwood Police Department has partnered with two other law enforcement agencies and local school administrators on a national program in Northern New York designed to provide resources to children who may have endured recent trauma.
Norwood-Norfolk Central School District has worked with the Norfolk Police Department and St. Lawrence County Sheriffâs Office on the Handle With Care program. If police officers respond to a potentially traumatic situation involving a student, they would pass the childâs name to the district. School authorities could then make counseling services ready if needed, according to a model of the program in effect in various regions the country.
