GGUSD alum will be SRO at La Quinta High School

This week, Garden Grove Unified School District welcomed Westminster Police Officer Omar Ayala-Campos as the newest member of the district’s School Resource Officer team.

Officer Ayala is dedicated to serving all six GGUSD schools located in the City of Westminster including La Quinta High School, McGarvin Intermediate School and Anthony, Carrillo, Marshall and Post elementary schools.

Officer Ayala joins the district’s SRO team which currently consists of one sergeant and five specially-selected and trained full-time sworn officers from the Garden Grove Police Department. While the majority of GGUSD schools are located in Garden Grove, the district also has four schools in Fountain Valley, six schools in West- minster, six schools in Santa Ana and one school in Stanton.

The district has plans to add a school resource officer from the Fountain Valley and Santa Ana Police Departments as well.

“School safety is our highest priority,” said Board of Education Trustee Bob Harden. “The expertise of our school resource officers has been invaluable in assessing and managing safety concerns and we want to bring that same level of security to each and every GGUSD campus.”

Officer Ayala is a 15-year veteran
