VIP

Embraced by the Guelph Police Services in 1986, this program is aimed specifically at grade 6 students and seeks to assist teachers with helping students:
• Make informed choices
• Lean their rights and responsibilities
• Build self esteem

VIP focuses on 11 topics related to values, influences, and peers. It pays special attention to authority figures, the law, drug awareness, bullying/cyber bullying and internet safety.

The officer meets with every grade 6 class in the city four times, presenting lessons in a fun and relaxed manner.

VIP Plus

VIP Plus was implemented in the spring of 2008 in response to a demand for an expanded program that continues to educate students through grades 7 and 8. This program models the VIP program but enhances the content and lesson plans to an age appropriate level.
