Chief Presing and members of the Little Falls Police Department were proud to join Superintendent Tracey Marinelli at the "Talk a Latte" event held in the School No. 1 Cafeteria to discuss the paramount topic of school safety and security.

Ensuring the comprehensive security and protection of our students, faculty, and school facilities remains our department's highest priority. Opportunities like "Talk a Latte" reinforce the vital, ongoing collaboration between law enforcement and district leadership, creating an open floor for parents, educators, and officers to connect, share insights, and address community feedback.

Together with Little Falls Schools, the LFPD remains dedicated to expanding proactive safety measures and implementing future initiatives aimed at further strengthening the defense and climate of all our schools.

Thank you to Superintendent Marinelli, district staff, and every resident who joined us to help keep our schools safe every day!
