Deputy Kevin F. Dush - School Liaison Officer

Hi, my name is Deputy Kevin F. Dush, and I'm the new school liaison officer, replacing Deputy Rich Duynslager who retired this summer. I have been a road patrol deputy since 2004, and this summer I attended training to become a school liaison officer. I officially joined the Youth Services Unit, under Sergeant Doug LaLone, this fall at the beginning of the school year. I work Monday through Friday in the schools, but share my time between Beal City, St. Joseph the Worker, Weidman Elementary, and Rosebush Elementary.
I will be spending time in the classrooms teaching the T.E.A.M. (Teaching, Educating, and Mentoring) Curriculum, which includes presentations on safety, drug awareness, laws, and more.

Besides teaching T.E.A.M, I work behind the scenes with the school administrators to help keep your school safe, including planning and implementing the different emergency drills throughout the year. I am also available to all students, parents, and staff to answer questions or concerns. It doesn't matter if it's school related, or something happening at home, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may e-mail me at kfdush@isabellacounty.org or contact me at 989-621-7510.
