Criminal Investigation Division - Juvenile Programs
Juvenile Programs are supervised by the Criminal Investigation Division Sergeant and include the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Program.
School Resource Officers
School Resource Officers continue to provide classroom instruction to educate students about various laws as they relate to juveniles and provide preventative information pertaining to a number of topics that currently affect our youth population.
There is no question that the benefits of School Resource Officers are numerous. They provide a much-needed service to the Oshkosh Area School District, expertise in juvenile law and alleviate the response to the schools from the Patrol Division. School Resource Officers are also an asset to the Criminal Investigation Division, assisting with the caseload by taking on investigations involving juveniles because of their access to these victims, witnesses, and suspects. In addition to their primary duties, School Resource Officers are informally considered to be teachers, counselors, mentors and mediators.
