SRO Activity Report
-
October 2002
During the month of October, the SRO has been extremely
busy. He has split most of his time
between the Junior High and High school. The
SRO has however, responded to the elementary schools for truancy, counseling,
and crime prevention issues.
The SRO also took a group of four
high school seniors to the
criminal justice training commission in Burien, WA. for the Career Fair.
These students showed an interest in careers in the law enforcement.
During the fair, the students spoke with professionals from national,
state, and local law enforcement agencies in the pros and cons about a law
enforcement career.
The SRO also delivered reflective Halloween Safety bags to
Grades K-4th grade and spoke with all of the Mnt. View student body
about Halloween Safety. The bags
were donated by Grant County PUD.
Also during October, the SRO continued his effort in
getting “Spillman” (Law Enforcement database) connected at the high school,
which will aid in his day to day duties.
The SRO and one of the Police Sergeants attended a class,
which will now qualify them to be School Safety Instructors.
In the future, a training schedule will be developed to utilize their
training.
One incident in October stands out.
The incident occurred at the highschool and concerned the arrest of a
former student, who was in the school with a concealed pistol.
This incident was fortunately handled without anyone getting hurt. Vice-Principle Jack Peasley and Athletic Director Bill
Alexander handled the situation extremely well and should be congratulated on a
job well done. For more details see
the attached press release.

The increased number of misdemeanor arrests were caused by
several assaults at the high school, where several students were not actually
involved with the physical fight but were participating with words or other
actions that may cause a fight. This
behavior is considered “disorderly conduct” under Washington State law.
Four of the “calls for service” were handled by the
on-duty officer because the SRO was gone for training.
