The Police Department has a School Resource Officer (SRO) that serves the Kimberly Public Schools. This is possible by a contract between the School District and the City. This officer is assigned to school campuses during the school year and patrol shifts during the summer months. The SRO is rotated among the Patrol Officers.
The SRO works closely with administration, staff, students, and parents to handle a variety of issues that arise on school campuses.
The SRO is responsible for:
- Patrolling school campuses
- Investigating criminal activity
- Managing traffic accidents
- Implementing other programs within the schools as necessary
