Riverside County Board of Supervisors Honors and Recognizes School Resource Officers

The School Safety Advocacy Council recently awarded the Corona-Norco School District with the 2015 Exemplary School Safety Initiative Award for its "Project Safety Net Program." The Corona-Norco School District was the only district in California to receive this award and one of eight in the entire United States. The Project Safety Net Program is a partnership between the Corona-Norco School District and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department whose mission is to provide a safe and caring environment so students can excel in their academic studies. The principal goal of Project Safety Net is to identify and anticipate safety concerns and systematically address each concern through the application of best practices. On Sept. 15, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors recognized and honored the Corona-Norco School District and Riverside County Sheriff's Deputies Cooper, Huggins, and Thompson for receiving this prestigious award. Deputies Cooper, Huggins, and Thompson serve as school resource officers (SRO) for Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Norco High School, and five middle schools in the Corona-Norco School District. Each of these deputies utilize hard work, dedication, and integrity to serve the staff and promote a safe learning environment for the students.
