Toward the end of the program, after a number of young people were noted for improving their grades by attending PSC’s after school program, Cpl. Antoine Patton of the Cambridge City Police said, “First and foremost I think we need to thank the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention for sponsoring this program. From the police department’s perspective, it not only helps the children with their school work but it helps with rapport between the children and the police department.”
