The EZ Plus Program

The Bowling Green Police Division, in cooperation with B.G. City Schools, implemented an after-school program to reinforce and reward positive behavior of our Bowling Green Junior High School students. These seventh and eighth graders are exposed to a new environment where peer pressure increases. New attitudes towards teachers, police and those in authority are being shaped at a critical time in a child's life.

At this point a collaborative effort from the school, Police Division and community agencies thought to make a difference in providing a positive atmosphere in shaping the lifestyle decision-making processes of our youth.

Membership

The EZ Plus Program will issue its members a photo I.D. card. This membership card will afford the students all priveleges associated with the program. The students will sign a pledge to be drug, violence and crime free. Should the student violate this pledge, any parent, police officer or school official may suspend the priveleges, membership and revoke the card. The student will not be allowed to participate in any membership activity until he or she meets with the memberships's peer group.

The Pledge

Remain Drug Free
Remain Violence Free
Remain Crime Free

Parent’s Info Regarding EZ PLUS Events

As a reward to those members that exhibit positive behaviors, and for the integrity of the EZ PLUS program, only EZ PLUS members may participate in our events. Please note that students that are not EZ PLUS members, or are members and have had their EZ PLUS membership revoked, will not be allowed to participate in EZ PLUS events. Students that fall under these categories will not be allowed admittance into these events. Members that do not act appropriately at EZ PLUS events will also be subject to removal from the event. As policy, the EZ PLUS team will make notification to parents to come and pick up their child, or if parental notification cannot be made, and for safety concerns, he or she will be transported home by an on-duty uniformed BGPD officer.
EZ PLUS members who lose their ID card after the membership drive will not be allowed to participate in any EZ PLUS event unless he or she pays a $1.00 “Lost ID Card” fee. The fee must be paid at each EZ PLUS event.
Also note that students who do not wish to sign up for the EZ PLUS program during the membership drive week will not be allowed to participate in EZ PLUS events this school year. The only exceptions will be for those students who were absent from school the entire week of the membership drive, or who register at the BGJHS/St. Aloysius Junior High School as new students after the membership drive dates. Please contact the EZ PLUS Supervisor with questions or concerns regarding membership.
