Hermitage and North Precinct Flex officers conducted truancy sweeps of McGavock and Hunters Lane High Schools today.
Officers charged 17 McGavock and four Hunters Lane students with loitering during school hours for attempting to leave the campus while school was in session. Four adults were also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
During the truancy initiative, officers in unmarked vehicles watched for students who appeared to be skipping school. Uniformed officers then made investigative stops of those who appeared to be in violation.
The truancy operation is the latest in an on-going effort between the police department, Juvenile Court, and school officials to see that students are in school and remain there until dismissal.
