  • Serve as a liaison between LOSD and LOPD.
  • Meet regularly with school administrators to support Restorative Practices.
  • Provide assistance with any threat assessments when a person is a possible threat to themselves or others.
  • Help our schools prepare for the event of an emergency; plan for and assist with all required drills and any incidents.
  • Implement safety and security measures at large gatherings such as athletic events and school dances, as well as help with traffic safety and enforcement in and around the schools.
  • Serve as a go-to resource for students and their parents/guardians on matters of safety and security.
