IVVC Law Enforcement Public Safety Proficiency Awards 2019

Kelsey E. (Plano) was awarded pins for Perfect Attendance and Physical Fitness.

Acknowledging student achievements, even in a small way, increases positive emotions such as self-respect, happiness, and confidence. This is a very good thing in terms of personal growth, but what you may not be aware of is that there is a growing body of research that associates cultivating positive emotions on a regular basis with psychological well-being, resilience and living longer.

The Law Enforcement program has started recognizing students for 20 different accomplishments with more to be added next year. Military has been doing it for decades in the form of colorful ribbons that would be pinned to a soldier’s uniform. Ribbons are pinned on the student’s uniform directly above their name during our weekly inspections on Mondays. Students are already trying to attain as many as they can.  For students that repeat earning a ribbon, they are awarded a star to pin on the ribbon.
