The Woodland Police Department?s three School Resource Officers are responsible
for the three public high schools and tw o middle schools in Woodland. Each high school
has a School Resource Officer (SRO) assigned during school hours. With a major focus
nationw ide on violence w ithin the schools, the SROs have received extensive training in
this area. They are more than ready to handle any crisis w ithin the schools. The SROs not
only enforce discipline and the law w ithin the schools but are also responsible for
facilitating programs w ithin the schools such as the Gang Resistance Education And
Training (G.R.E.A.T.) This program is an evidence-based and effective gang and violence
prevention program built around school-based, law enforcement officer-instructed
classroom curricula. G.R.E.A.T. is intended as an immunization against delinquency,
youth violence, and gang membership for children in the years immediately before the
prime ages for introduction into gangs and delinquent behavior.

In September 2015 School Resource Officers
Hannah Gray and Nolan McManus were invited
to be on the Good Morning Sacramento TV show
after we posted this photo on our Facebook
page. This fun photo mimicked the one from
officers in Australia regarding the partnered
officers' extreme height difference.
