It’s time to head back to school and our Medicine Hat Police Service School Resource Officers (SRO) are excited for the start of a new school year!

 

The goal of the SRO’s is to provide a visible police presence in the schools and work with the entire school community to create a safe environment while building a positive relationship between youth and the police service.

Cst. Taylor Olenic will be returning for his second year at Medicine Hat High School and Cst. Brent Bohrn will be heading back to Crescent Heights High School for another year as well. Both officers are looking forward to catching up with everyone and meeting new students and staff.

Cst. Matt Sanders is a new SRO this year and is assigned to Monsignor McCoy High School, St Mary’s School, and Notre Dame Academy. Cst. Sanders has been a police officer for 16 years, and his most recent assignment was in the Patrol Section. Cst. Sanders has previously been assigned to the Mountain Bike Unit, K9 Unit, and ALERT Section.

The SRO’s have offices within their schools or can be reached at:
