SRO: arrests rose slightly, truancy down as social workers expand support
Summary
School Resource Officer John Meyer told trustees arrests rose by four while habitual truancy declined—crediting the truancy officer and added social workers. Meyer said the department investigated a terroristic-threat report at ASPIRE that led to an arrest.
School Resource Officer John Meyer reported to the board that total arrests in the district increased by four compared with last year, while habitual truancy declined—an outcome he attributed to the district's truancy officer and the placement of social workers at schools.
Meyer said mental-health SRO involvement has decreased because social workers are available on campus to support students. He described collaborative work with parents and staff and said one investigation at ASPIRE resulted in an arrest for a terroristic threat. "It is from the top down; it starts with the Sheriff," Meyer said when trustees praised the department's work. Trustees thanked SROs for their efforts; no formal action was taken on the report.
