Delaware Police Department Capt. Adam Moore said he can remember when people would say things must be bad if police officers are stationed in public schools.
Although police do enforce the law, that s not the only reason the department has two school resource officers assigned to Delaware City Schools, Moore said.
Their duties include making sure everybody s safe, physically safe, making sure the building s secure.”
“That s kind of the primary responsibility,” he said. “But beyond that, they also have an education piece where they re in the classroom, they re interacting with kids, they re providing education on many things that are kind of confronting kids these days that could be challenging, whether that be drugs and addiction issues or the internet or just personal safety, dating violence, a whole lot of things affecting kids, Moore said.
