Welcome to the web pages of the Center Grove Community School Corporation Police Department.  The Center Grove Community School Corporation, or “CG,” as it’s called, is a progressive organization that strives to provide the best education possible for our students.  To accomplish that goal, a proper educational environment must be maintained. This type of environment allows our students to focus on learning, but it also allows them to enjoy the countless opportunities outside of the classroom that CG offers its students.

In July of 2007, the state legislature approved a bill that was signed into law by the governor, allowing school corporations in Indiana to create their own police departments.  In February of 2008 our School Board authorized the establishment of the Center Grove School Police Department.  The CGSPD was the second such department established in Indiana.

The world has changed dramatically over the years.  Many of the changes are positive for our students.  Just from a technological standpoint, the evolution of the educational process provides our kids with advantages that many of us never had.  However, as everyone knows, many changes in society have not been good, and they can influence negatively that “proper educational environment” on a daily basis.

I believe it is important to note the mission statement of the CGSPD at this point.  It is simple, but it is the guiding principle of our organization and it specifically recognizes the importance of maintaining an atmosphere conducive to learning for our students at all grade levels.  It reads:

To foster a safe, secure, and proper learning environment by providing effective law enforcement, protective, and ancillary services throughout the Center Grove school community.

We are here to protect our students, staff, visitors, and facilities, and we will do so in the best way that we possibly can.  In so doing, we will also do our best to create a positive relationship with all of our stakeholders – but especially with our CG students – because they are the reason that our school corporation exists.

The following pages will provide you with more information on the CGSPD.  I invite you to peruse them, and to check back occasionally for updates.  I also invite you to contact me at any time with questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions regarding the department.  My contact information is available on the following page.
