If you are interested in becoming involved in this program, please contact  F/Lieutenant Penny Fischer 

We are no longer using LEMONLINE due to technology difficulties so we ask you to use this questionnaire form in its place and mail it to:
 Penny Fischer, P.O. Box 6634, East Lansing, MI 48826 or
attach it as a PDF (or similar process) to an email to Penny Fischer at fischer@police.msu.edu . 

We hope to create a new electronic format in the new technology being considered by the Board.  In the interim, we would like to review all pairings previously conducted.  If you are currently happily paired with a mentor/protege, please contact F/Lt. Penny Fischer at the above email address with that information so that she can confirm you on the master list created for the program.  If you do not wish to remain with your current mentor/protege OR you wish to engage in a mentoring pairing, please complete the form or contact Penny to advise of what is required.  In the near future, on this site will also be some materials and links for those of you intending to create a mentoring program in your own agency.  Thank you for your patience!
