Lincoln School Resource Officers build trust with students
Lincoln Courier
Lincoln School Resource Officers Christy Fruge and Tim Butterfield say they play many roles in their jobs but the most rewarding aspect is gaining the trust of the students they serve.
Fruge, who is in her second year serving as the SRO at District 27, said she treats students much like her own children.
“My job is to bond with the kids and to look after their emotional and physical well being in order for their needs to be met,” said Fruge.
The students are starting to understand the SRO role at the different schools and have become comfortable with the police presence.
