Special ProgramsSchool Resource Officer Program and the DARE Program
The Snowflake-Taylor Police Department believes that an integral part of law enforcement begins with education. The Department maintains a School Resource Officer (SRO) who assists the Junior High and High School with an education program aimed at teaching young minds responsible citizenship. The nationally-recognized DARE program has been successful in providing drug interdiction through education.
