Chubbuck Police Department celebrates milestone with addition of SRO

Please join the Chubbuck Police Department in celebrating a milestone with the addition of our community’s first School Resource Officer, Casey Hollowell.

Earlier this year, we learned that School District 25 had applied for and been approved to receive a state grant to help fund the addition of a School Resource Officer (SRO) at our local Portneuf Valley Technical Education and Career Campus (PV-Tech).

We have since been working closely with the school district to make this opportunity a reality. Officer Hollowell also completed the basic SRO course and, in addition to serving our community’s schools as an SRO, he will also be serving as our new DARE Officer.

If you don’t know, PV-Tech is a regional career technical education center (CTE) for southeast Idaho that offers 21 CTE pathways for our youth, 14 leading directly to entry level employment opportunities.

PV-Tech learners are introduced to business partners, have leadership opportunities, and gain professional development preparing them to be young professionals in their selected career field.

We can’t thank the school district enough for foreseeing the need for an SRO in our community and for helping this become a reality. We can tell you firsthand that Officer Hollowell is extremely excited about having the opportunity to interact with our community’s youth in such a positive environment.

Thank you, Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25, we tip our hats. Congratulations Officer Hollowell, we are all proud of you!
