School Resource Officer/D.A.R.E.
The Pendleton Police Department School Resource Officer is responsible for education, crime prevention, investigative efforts and addressing the needs of all of the schools in the City of Pendleton including public and private.
The Pendleton Police Department currently has one (1) Officer assigned to the schools. He is the primary liaison for the schools and is also responsible for the teaching of the DARE program in the four (4) elementary schools. When he is not in the elementary schools he splits his time between Sunridge Middle School and Pendleton Senior High School.
The Pendleton Police Department believes it is important for our Officers to be in the schools in a proactive approach to preventing and addressing criminal incidents that occur. But the criminal issues are only a part of our Officers responsibilities, being seen and developing a positive rapport with the staff and students in our schools is very important in establishing community partnerships.
