Community Policing

We have a campus resource officer from the sheriff's department at our high school. He actually covers all three of the schools, but his primary office is at the high school.

Today I realized that the scope of his job is much more than handling assaults and traffic issues.

Today he was spray-painting the school rock.

He's covered one side of the rock with orange paint and then sprayed "buckle up" on it.

I didn't see him do the deed. I saw him walking away from it after he'd completed it. I stopped and said "Boy. I wish I'd gotten a photo of that for the paper."

He said he does that periodically, to cover up less-than-uplifting messages that get painted on there from time to time.
