School police liaison reports new sexual‑assault officer, recruits and training in Brockton schools
Summary
Supervisor Mosley told the committee that Officer Fernandez has been designated as a school-based sexual-assault officer after training, the department held VR de‑escalation and active‑shooter training, and three recruits start at the academy this week; investigations will be coordinated with Brockton Police and clinicians when appropriate.
Supervisor Mosley, the district’s school police liaison, briefed the Brockton School Committee on Dec. 2 on safety and security activities across the district, including the designation of a school‑based sexual‑assault officer.
Mosley said Officer Fernandez completed relevant training and will take initial reports and lead follow‑up investigations in collaboration with the Brockton Police Department. On clinician involvement, Mosley said clinicians will be brought in when required for sensitive cases. He also described recent VR training focused on de‑escalation and active‑shooter scenarios and community policing events that included distributing food to families.
Mosley reported three new recruits started at the police academy this week and noted one academy recruit speaks Spanish and Haitian Creole. Committee members welcomed the female sexual‑assault officer as a potentially important resource for victims who may feel more comfortable speaking with a female officer.
No formal action was taken; Mosley and the superintendent said the district’s HR and safety teams will continue coordinating with the police department and will report back as needed.
