The Goodyear Police Department in partnership with three separate schools within the City limits has established a School Police Substation program.  This is a very simple and cost effective program.  The schools have offered up office space on their school campuses.  Officers who are on patrol during school hours simply drop by the school, as their schedule allows, making phone calls and catching up on computer work.  This is an opportunity for officers to get out of their patrol cars and have a presence at the school, which in and of itself acts as a deterrent to potential crime.  In addition, school staff, students and parents enjoy interacting with officers when they are on campus.
