New school resource officer outlines focus on relationships, education and safety
Summary
Detective Roblier, the district's school resource officer, told the board he will focus on relationship-building, curriculum-based education (including the NOVA program) and safety assessments; he described daily school hours, split assignments across three schools and a zero-tolerance referral practice for conduct meeting criminal thresholds.
Detective Roblier, serving as the district’s school resource officer through the Moab Police Department, briefed the Grand County School Board on his priorities and daily schedule on Oct. 15.
Roblier told the board his work emphasizes three priorities: building relationships with students and staff; delivering education-based programming; and coordinating safety assessments with law-enforcement partners. He said he is rebuilding and improving the curriculum used in the high school, is certified in the NOVA prevention curriculum (Nurturing Opportunities, Values and Accountability) and continues to teach prevention content aimed at K–6 students.
Roblier described his split schedule and investigative duties: he said he is assigned across all three district schools, normally in the schools from about 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on school days, and that he covers investigator on-call duty about one week each month. He described a "zero tolerance" practice for incidents that meet criminal criteria and said such cases are referred to juvenile court; less-serious or noncriminal matters are handled through advisement and school processes.
Board members asked about time in buildings and community engagement; Roblier said that his best measure of student interactions is spending time in schools and encouraged board members to visit classrooms. He also noted discussions with the county sheriff’s office and other security stakeholders about assessing and addressing school security deficiencies.
Why it matters: The SRO’s stated priorities shape day-to-day student contact, safety training and curricular programming. The description of split assignment, on-call duties and referral practices clarifies expectations for administration, staff and the public.
