The Community Outreach, Relations and Engagement (CORE) Unit is staffed with 1 Sergeant, 2 Officers, and 4 School Resource Officers.
The Community Outreach, Relations and Engagement (CORE) Unit was implemented to work collaboratively with, and coordinate the efforts of, the entire police department to implement crime prevention strategies and tactics while building positive relationships with the community.
The School Resource Officers are assigned to Shawnee's Middle and High Schools during the school year, and are responsible for investigating crimes occurring on school grounds and assisting with cases involving students. During the summer, the officers assist the CORE Unit as needed.
