A.M.P.S. (Anger Management Program for Students)

A.M.P.S. (Anger Management Program for Students) The purpose of A.M.P.S. is to educate or kids in regard to anger management and the control of this emotion Violence is a learned behavior that can be changed.

Parents, students and school officials can take steps toward reducing violence in schools by responding to children’s emotional and psychological needs and by implementing violence prevention programs. is to educate the students in the Los Angeles Unified School District in regard to anger management and the control of this emotion. This would include threats and other negative behavior manifestat

ions. The target group is 3rd grade students. Our testing period concluded that this program was most effective at that grade level. The focus on this grade level is important in order to set a foundation that can be carried through the rest of their childhood and on to adulthood. In recent years there has been an upsurge in actions taken by angry youth that have made world-wide headlines. Columbine High School in Colorado and Santee High School in the San Diego area are two examples of tragic incidents fueled by anger. Several schools have called me requesting an officer from our department to address their students on this topic. After giving several presentations on this topic, I realized the need for a more formalized structured course where we could be assured that all the presenters are giving the same message. I have used my years of experience as a police officer and a parent plus the many presentations I have done to put together this program. I also called upon officers Mario Delgado, Robert Romero and James ream to help put together this course from their years of experience in giving successful presentations to children on school safety and anger management. A.M.P.S. will focus on positive methods of handling anger and giving our students alternative solutions to dealing with their anger issues. Included in this program will be:

-Criminal Threats and Battery, the definition and consequences
-What causes anger
-How do we handle the emotion of anger
-Role-playing exercises dealing with real life situations for youth
-How to report information related to anger

The presentation will last approximately one hour and will be presented to a group of children at their schools by trained police officers for the Los Angeles School Police Department. An officer will also schedule a follow-up visit to individual classrooms to make sure the information is retained. There is a high demand for this type of proactive program in our schools. The officers of the Los Angeles School Police Department are the most identified law enforcement representatives to most of our children, therefore the logical choice to implement such a program. The presentation will last approximately 45 minutes to on hour and will be presented to a group of children at their schools by trained Police Officers and School Safety officers from the Los Angeles School Police Department. It is most effective with three of four classes at a time in an auditorium setting. Please feel free to contact me for more information to schedule a team to come to your school to make a presentation to your 3rd graders. I can be reached at (213) 742-8248 or at [email protected].
