School Resource Officers

The Fruita Police Department has two school resource officers who provided services to the Mesa County District 51 Schools located within the City of Fruita. The schools the Fruita PD School Resource Officers are responsible for are:

• Fruita Monument High School.
• Fruita 8-9 School.
• Fruita Middle School.
• Shelledy Elementary.
• Rim Rock Elementary.

Our School Resource Officers fill several roles within the schools aside from just a law enforcement presence. Our Officers act as a liason between School District 51 and the Fruita Police Department. They act as law-enforcement counselors and educators; identifying, providing intervention, and mentoring at-risk students. Fruita Police Department School Resource Officers are considered role-models, often involved in school events and functions such as school dances and at-home sporting events.

Fruita Police Department School Resource Officers play a vital role in the ever changing, dynamic area of community policing; building and maintaining relationships with school administrators, teachers, students and parents.
