Female students at Clinton Junior High School this week are learning self-awareness.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers told Regional Radio the junior high girls are learning self-awareness with school resource officer Cody Mair.

Chief Lowers reminds this was a program started several years ago by the now-retired school resource officer Mike Bennet and Officer Mair is continuing the tradition of teaching young girls in the schools a valuable lesson.

While Clinton is a very safe community for young girls to grow up in, Chief Lowers says life will take young people all over the place and those places may not be the safest. In the event they need these skills, he hopes they'll be glad they learned them.

Chief Lowers continues to endorse the program and hopes to see it carry on for many years to come in Clinton.
