POLICE DEPARTMENT'S ANTI -BULLYING AWARENESS INITIATIVE
Officer Gretchen Morgan gave a report. Below is a summary of the report as reported in
the Commission Highlights by Public Information Officer, Pam Spencer.
"Officer Gretchen Morgan and Chief Brandon Barnhill provided the
Mayor and Commissioners an overview of the Paducah Police
Department's Anti -Bullying Awareness Campaign that focuses on middle
and high school students. Officer Morgan has compiled a slide
presentation that begins and ends with a reminder of the golden rule: treat
others the way you want to be treated. Officer Morgan says, "It's a lot of
information we already know, but we often need simple reminders to help
us become aware." Clips from the movie, "Forrest Gump", also are used
in the presentation since there are several scenes showing the bullying of
Forrest. The awareness campaign also focuses on bystanders. Officer
Morgan says, "They can be part of the problem, or the solution to the
problem." The campaign also asks students to think about their answers to
several questions to help them determine if they are a bully. Then,
solutions are provided to help the students make better choices. Since
some students may not be aware that they are bullying others,
Commissioner Richard Abraham says, "This is a tool that will help self -
recognition." The Paducah Police Department plans to start presenting the
awareness presentation at McCracken County High School later this
month. Contact the Police Department if your school or organization
would like to hear the presentation. As one of Mayor Kaler's first
initiatives as Mayor of Paducah, she organized the Mayor's Anti -Bullying
Task Force which has a variety of members including representatives from
the Paducah Police Department and the McCracken County Sheriff's
Department."
