SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS Deputies investigate crimes and enforce laws on school district property, assist school personnel with threat assessments, and provide training to school district personnel as well as students. Deputies are expected be a role model and sometimes mentor for students in order to foster their trust in law enforcement. The SRO program has been so successful that the Franklin Pierce, Puyallup, and Bethel School Districts each added one additional SRO for the 2018-2019 school year. Franklin Pierce SD

The Puyallup Police Department also has three Police Officers assigned to the Puyallup School District, which provides that district with a total of six (6) SROs. Peninsula and University Place Districts also each have a dedicated SRO, but they are supervised from within each detachment.
Traffic Enforcement & Commercial Vehicle Units In 2018, the Traffic Enforcement Unit implemented a new system that allows the unit to create a digital model of collisions within millimeters of accuracy. The Commercial Vehicle Unit made 100 full inspections and of those inspections roughly 40% of those vehicles are put “Out of Service.”
Deputies who’ve received their state phlebotomy certification can bring suspects to the station for blood draws, bypass hospital and return to patrol duty faster. Our department has the largest phlebotomy program in the state of Washington. Pg. 14
