MJyor of the City of Ar~heim City Cle~rk of the City of Anaheim 29925.2 OFFICE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING SUPPRESSION OF DRUG ABUSE IN SCHOOLS PROGRAM ANAHEIM POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ANAHEIM UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Anaheim Police Department and the Anaheim Union High School District are co-applicants for the 2000 OCJP Suppression of Drug Abuse in Schools Grant Program. The Anaheim Police Department is the lead agency and is asking for $100,000 to apply towards the funding of a School/Community Policing Officer. In spite of ali of the services and programs that currently exist within the City of Anaheim, the number of students identified as "high risk" and who are caught using alcohol, drugs and tobacco on campuses are still of great concern. "High risk" students are being caught up in a cycle of poor school attendance, bad grades, low self-esteem, alcohol, drug and tobacco use, violence against others and themselves. These students and their families often do not have the knowledge or resources to know how to break the downward spiral of self-destructive behavior. What is needed is a School Community Policing Officer who can: · Educate teachers, parents, and students about the dangers of alcohol, drug and tobacco use · Identify and arrest students who are under the influence of alcohol and drugs · Reach out into the community and pull in resources that are appropriate for each student and his/her family · Track each high risk student as he/she goes through intervention and adjust the intervention as needed · Act as a positive role model to all students from kindergarten to senior high school · Encourage teachers, counselors and district employees in their efforts to reach out to "high risk" students · Identify new education, suppression and intervention resources and tie existing and new resources together A full-time Police Officer, trained in community-orientedpolicing and with a background in undercover street and major narcotic sales, is needed to be a builder of bridges to establish new relationships and reinforce existing partnerships in the effort to mobilize the community and the schools to educate, suppress, and intervene in the cycle of alcohol, drug and tobacco use by Anaheim's youth. The School Community Policing Officer will specifically target Anaheim High School and its feeder schools: Sycamore Junior High, Thomas Edison Elementary, Benjamin Franklin Elementary, James Guinn Elementary, Patrick Henry Elementary, Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, Adelaide Price Elementary and Sunkist Elementary Schools. Since 1992, the A.U.H.S. District Gang Prevention Specialist has worked with an Anaheim Police Gang Officer as a team approach to education, suppression and intervention in the gang cycle. The first year the District Specialist and the Police Officer worked together to combat gangs in the schools, schools reported crimes dropped 51%. Gang incidents at school campuses dropped, although gang incidents in the surrounding neighborhoods increased. Trust was built with students as the officers worked together in both the school system and the criminal justice system to bring out the best resources available to help each individual student and his/her family. The School Community Policing Officer has developed just such a working relationship with the current A.U.H.S. District Chemical Use Prevention Specialist also, and together, they have formed a powerful and effective tool to combat alcohol, drug and tobacco use by Anaheim students.
