Protecting Students, Building Futures
In the fall of 2006 the members of the Fontana School Police Department adopted this motto. It is intended to be a reminder not only to the men and women of the school police department, but the entire district and surrounding community, of exactly what our mission is. The school police department has a very important dual role as it relates to the education of our children.
- First and foremost, the Fontana School Police Department exists for one primary reason - We keep kids safe! In order for maximum learning to take place in a school environment, the staff and students must feel safe and be free from distractions related to criminal activity or other anti-social behaviors.
- The second very important role of a school police employee is to build positive relationships with our students, particularly at-risk students who may be headed down a path of personal destruction in the absence of effective intervention.
Our employees serve not only as guardians, but also as role models and mentors. We at the Fontana School Police Department believe there is not a nobler calling than serving as protectors and mentors to the youth of our community as we do our part to work with our staff in leading all of our kids to brighter futures.
