CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The Clinton Township Police Department supports a study up for approval by the Township Board of Trustees, to determine if engaging social workers can help better serve the community by providing support for their officers in the field.
Trustee Laura Cardamone, a social worker who owns a private practice counseling center in Clinton Township, initiated a $25,000 study funded by a federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), dollars provided to the Township annually.
The study is designed to be a deep dive into how social workers can support responding police officers in situations that require or would benefit from additional personal or community support. A needs assessment will likely transition into the development of a working program.
