By News Editor And Partners • Feb 18, 2021 A 13-year veteran of the Las Cruces Police Department, Community Liaison Officer Aaron Glymph has enjoyed the opportunity to interact and build relationships with people from all walks of life in the Las Cruces community. “Being in this role allows me to touch people’s lives and improve our community. I really enjoy connecting with people and hearing their stories,” Glymph said. Part of his role as Community Liaison Officer includes involvement with the City’s Weed & Seed and Teen Connection programs. Weed & Seed was started as a Department of Justice Grant program, but has evolved into more than an after-school and summer program for at-risk youth. The program now includes mentorship, educational, nutritional, and life skills assistance for entire families, positive daily interaction with Law Enforcement officers, and support services for the entire Weed & Seed community. The program serves children from kindergarten through high school and has expanded in recent years to a separate program for middle school and high school students called the Teen Connection.
