The Meridian Township Police Department is currently on its 10-year anniversary with organizing its youth academy and hopes to impact the community and youth of Okemos, Haslett and other parts of Ingham County. “This isn’t just to benefit the people of Meridian Township, but to also benefit and impact the relationship youth has with law enforcers.” police Sgt. Scott Dawson said. “It’s an opportunity for us to let teenagers know that we are normal people, and we’re not always out to get them and bust their parties.”
