In 1990 the Winter Haven Police Department implemented the
School Resource Officer Program in our city schools on a
full-time basis. The purpose of the program is to build
rapport between the students, school officials and parents with
the Winter Haven Police Department, plus project a positive
image of law enforcement in the Polk County School System and
the community. |
