For continuation, if necessary, of any item on application page CJD-1. Identify by number the item being continued. This sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the applicant's option. The School Resource Officer Program will be a combined effort between the City of The Colony and the Lewisville Independent School District. The School Resource Officer will be assigned to work in The Colony High School and will focus 100% of his time with these students and their parents as well as the school faculty members. By placing a police officer in the high school, the image the student has of the authority figure should become more positive, increasing the chances that the student will grow into a law abiding citizen. Offenses and incidents should decrease, simply by having an officer available will be a deterrent to many potential violators. Less off- campus individuals will be deterred from coming onto the campus thus helping to prevent activity such as drug/alcohol abuse and juvenile gang activity.
