KYR Training: School Resource Officer
October 12 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
As Indigenous Peoples, we know and understand the importance of protecting our youth, families, and communities. They are our livelihood.
To protect our relatives in Rapid City, NDN Collective is hosting a ‘Know Your Rights Training’ on Saturday, Oct 12 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM MT at Holiday Inn. 
This FREE training is meant to empower our youth and families. It’s an opportunity to learn how and when to invoke your rights to protect ourselves from School Resource Officers “SROs” at schools. In addition to learning what to look out for, what questions to ask, and what to document when you are speaking with or in the presence of “SROs.”
“Our children are the most precious and vulnerable part of our community,” said Bre Gibson, NDN Collective Legal Coordinator. “We know from the most recent Department of Justice Report Findings that our Indigenous youth are also being targeted unfairly when it comes to police in schools. This Abolitionist training will give our families the tools they need to feel safe and help combat the school-to-prison pipeline tactics enacted by local SROs.”
Our goal is to pass this important knowledge to our youth and families in our communities and to prevent our relatives from receiving criminal records.
This is our fourth training we have provided to the public, with over 100 community members who have attended!
We are beyond thankful that we can provide these resources to our relatives and community.
Sign up and register today! The first 50 people who register will receive a free swag bag.
