SRO Pavely also sits on the school districts’ Crisis Planning committees under his jurisdiction and is instrumental in assisting with threat assessments.
SRO Pavely’s responsibilities are broad and extend to performing internet and child safety presentations, drug and alcohol awareness classes, and bike safety training each year. He is responsible for investigating all crimes, threats, social conflicts, bullying, and incidents related to juveniles in the community. He is a trusted and highly respected member of the school community Civics and Safety committee.
