Through hours of discussion and a litany of differing opinions, the Beaverton City Council agreed to keep youth service officers in local schools, under a new set of requirements.
For several years now, the city and the Beaverton School District have been working to assess and update the contract that places Beaverton police officers in schools to patrol the campus, take reports on criminal activities within the schools, and educate students on topics like law enforcement, mental health, and drugs and alcohol.
