SRO team reports quarterly activity; officers highlight classroom lessons and K9 program
Summary
The district’s SROs described their week-to-week assignments, classroom instruction, and community outreach. Presentations highlighted individual lessons, training (ALICE and de-escalation), and positive student interactions with K9 officer Blue.
At the quarterly update, SRO leadership and officers briefed the board on SRO activities, coding of activity logs, and training completed during the quarter. Lieutenant Ingenu introduced the team and summarized efforts to standardize how SROs code time spent in buildings and the community.
Officer Hunter described his weekly schedule (about 28 hours at the high school, 12 at Glenbrook) and read an anonymized letter from a student describing how the SRO and the district K9 "Blue" helped the student feel safe and supported. "You always listened without judgment," the letter read, citing Blue’s calming effect.
Officer Josh described greeting students, classroom visits and relationship-building across three schools. Officer Zach Cameron discussed parking-lot safety, classroom visits and recent certifications in de-escalation training; he also noted that he and another SRO completed ALICE instructor training to strengthen district training capacity.
Leadership said the SROs will cover summer programs and community events and will continue to adjust schedules to maintain presence across elementary, middle and high school buildings. Board members asked about placement consistency and the tradeoffs of reassigning SROs between schools; administrators said they prefer stability to build relationships but will adjust as needed for coverage.
