The school safety officer recommends prevention strategies to proactively prepare the school for both natural and man-made critical incidents. The school safety officer makes periodic visits with the students in informal settings such as lunchrooms and playgrounds, to open lines of communication and foster positive interaction between young children and police officers. School safety officers also provide speed zone enforcement during assembly and dismissal hours and follow up on traffic safety needs and complaints with all elementary schools. |
