Police Department

As a member agency, the Avon School Police Department is able to enroll program participants in the Avon Police Department's AWARE program.

On Feb. 15, National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, we have a fine group of individuals to thank for keeping our 10,500 students and 1,500 employees safe and secure.

Avon Schools kicked off the New Year by welcoming a new School Resource Officer to the Police Department. Officer Shelby James was sworn in on January 2 by Chief Sam Leahy.

Samuel Leahy has been hired to serve as Chief of the Avon School Police Department. Leahy joins his wife, Amanda, a long-time Math Teacher at Avon High School, as an Avon Schools employee.

The Avon Schools Police Department has won a $500,000 grant from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) as part of the national School Violence Prevention Program.

From time to time, it may cause us to call for a delay, early dismissal, e-learning day, or even a closure. Here's how we decide and notify you.
