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.
