| CAMPUS RESOURCE PROGRAM | ||
|
The Campus Resource Officer (CRO) concept was introduced to Chowchilla in 1998 through a cooperative effort between the Chowchilla Police Department and local school districts. Currently, our department has two Campus Resource Officers. Officer Cheatham serves at Chowchilla Union High School and Officer Sanders serves at the campuses of the Chowchilla Elementary School District. |

|
|
The goals of the CRO Program are to ensure that our school campuses are safe environments for learning and to increase positive interaction between youth and the police department. |

 |
In cooperation with school staff, the Campus Resource Officers attempt to provide alternative solutions for our youth when they are faced with a problem. The CROs works closely with the Gang Liaison Officer, MADNET and MADGET Detectives, and school personnel to keep the influence of gang activity and drug use low among our middle and high school age students. |
|
|
Both current Campus Resource Officers go the extra mile by being involved with our youth. Officer Cheatham is the lead person in valuable CUHS prevention programs and is also one of the assistant coaches on the Chowchilla Varsity Football team. Officer Sanders works with the Police Explorer Program and also organizes safety/awareness presentations tackling issues such as gang awareness and internet safety.
