The schools consist of five <br />elementary schools (Rosita, Hazard, Newhope, Heritage, Russell) and one intermediate <br />school (Fitz). The GGUSD does not have a police department. The GGUSD provides <br />police services to its various schools by entering into service agreements with the law <br />enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the school(s). The GGUSD is seeking to <br />augment and enhance their security measures for its Santa Ana schools by entering <br />into a service agreement with the Santa Ana Police Department to provide a full time, <br />sworn police officer to serve as their SRO for the six schools located in Santa Ana. The <br />service agreement was approved by the GGUSD School Board at their meeting on <br />September 19, 2023. <br />The SRO will be responsible for providing security and crime prevention services. The <br />SRO will work directly with school administrators, teachers, and students to <br />cooperatively provide law enforcement resources coupled with the mentoring of <br />students and the provision of law enforcement related presentations on youth issues.
