Explain function, purpose of his position The sheriffs department created the school resource officer position three years and one month ago so that schools would have a liaison with the sheriffs department. Deputy Atlas has held the position. Before then, the position was rotated among deputies, but the school was having a hard time adjusting to aIl the different deputies. Thus, the school resource officer position was created. Atlas goes around to local schools around Halloween to educate young people about not ruining Halloween for little kids. 2. Will give guidance for dance chaperoning/behavior incidents, etc. ~.. The shttifPs depatbment doesn't hlce teens hanging out behind the coffee shop because the owners of the shops in the area do not think that teens hanging around behind there is helping to increase their business or safety. There have been many complaints filed by the owners. Two commissioners did not appreciate how one blond deputy, who had her hair in a tight bun, treated teens. Deputy Atlas responded by saying that the deputy did things differentiy but that she would be transferred by January 1st. Deputies have the legal right to search anyone if they are suspicious. They may then investigate and this mayinvolve spat-down. or a search. Deputy Atlas also said that teens shouldn't hang around ~Vildcs ood Park or Saratoga High School around the offhows. Wildwood Park has designated hours and Saratoga High has found a lot of litter and urine in the front of the school which the custodians do not appreciate. Atlas said that a school is only open during it's school hours and going on school grounds during its off- hours is considered trespassing. Finally, Deputy Atlas talked about parties. He said that parties are usually fine if the owner of the house thinks it is and no alcoholic beverages are being consumed. During a fmt call of a complaining neighbor, a fine is usually not imposed, but a warning is given. If a second call is received, then the owner of the house may be charged for all the deputies that have to be e~snatched. Cammicsianers requested that deputies give more leeway in the futwe so that party goers can and flnei• designated drivers. Deputy Atlas said that he would relay the message. He said that a sheriffs tab is often very danberous when guns and cars are involved and said to just pull over if a sheriff is after you. . B.
