administrators will make frequent visits to all town schools during regular school
hours. The visits may be random or scheduled. Officers will be highly visible to the
students and staff. These officers are not to be assigned to patrol school buildings and
grounds without the expressed approval of the Board of Education. Their function in
community policing is to interact socially and informally with students,
administrators, faculty, and staff.
At the same time the Board recognizes that police officers are sworn to uphold the law,
and thus compelled to react officially to any criminal activities they witness or are
called upon to investigate while they are on school premises even in community
policing or unofficial capacities.
