Junior Police Officers

The opportunity to become a Junior Police Officer is available to students in grades 5 through 8.  JPO duty gives students a sense of sharing responsibility for the safety of others.  Commitment, discipline and responsibility are displayed by attendance and by carrying out assigned duties with diligence.

The JPO squad is divided into morning and afternoon groups.  Each group is divided into teams and officers are appointed by the JPO advisor to lead the teams in carrying out their responsibilities of directing traffic and assisting students, parents and faculty in crossing at designated areas.

Students develop the ability to make decisions concerning safety, in accordance with laws and rules, while assisting with the flow of traffic.  JPOs learn to cooperate with law enforcement officers, teachers, students and parents.  They also learn awareness of safety rules and understand the necessity for them.
