MPD Visits Lahaina Intermediate: Officer Tevaga Inspires Students to Make Positive Choices

Mahalo to Principal Stacey Bookland and the staff at Lahaina Intermediate School for having me as a guest speaker today. It was an honor to go back to my hometown of Lahaina, Maui and talk story with the students about choices, the kind that shape who we become.

I spoke to them as a police recruiter, but more importantly as someone who cares about their future. I shared how some applicants who want to join our department aren’t able to because of decisions they made when they were younger. We talked about how vaping, drugs, and destructive choices can affect not just becoming a police officer, but any dream, whether it’s playing sports in college, going pro, or building a career later in life.

So proud of these young Lahaina kids for listening, asking great questions, and thinking about their futures. Keep making those positive choices, the kind that make your ‘Ohana proud and keep your options open.  -Officer Marvin Tevaga #MauiPolice #LahainaIntermediate #PositiveChoices #StayFocused #LahainaStrong
