Officer Goldfuss is ready to protect and serve the students and faculty at Law as the new School Resource Officer.

Goldfuss has experience as a School Resource Officer, spending some time as West Shore’s SRO. He has been an officer for three years in the Milford Police Department.

Goldfuss is happy to be Law’s new School Resource Officer, and wants to make that clear.

“I am always available,” Goldfuss said. “I am here to help and I want to be here.”

Goldfuss is in his element as School Resource Officer, as being a police officer was the career he always wanted.

“I always wanted to be a police officer since I was a kid,” Goldfuss said. “It puts me in the best position to help people, especially families.”

Goldfuss primarily did patrols during his time working with the police force before becoming the School Resource Officer.

He enjoyed his routine patrols, and in addition enjoyed taking calls. Certain calls involving families were the ones he enjoyed the most.

“The calls I like to do the most are families and kids who might be struggling, and help put them on the right path.”

He likes the Law community, and is happy to have Law as his home school.

“I like Law so far,” Goldfuss said. “It’s a good community that is tight knit and the students seem prideful in their school.”

The Law community is equally happy that Officer Goldfuss is the new School Resource Officer. From the students, to the faculty, all the way up to the principal and administrators, the feeling is the same.

”We are very excited and fortunate to have Officer Goldfuss join the Jonathan Law community,” Principal Mr. Thompson said. “He is a knowledgeable dedicated public servant who will bring new ideas and energy to our team.”

Thompson feels that Goldfuss will continue the standard brought to Law by Officer Kiely, the previous School Resource Officer.

“He is replacing a very special person, Officer James Kiely, but I know he will bring the same level of commitment to our school, “ Thompson said.

Goldfuss and Thompson work in tandem to make sure that things are running smoothly at Law.

“We operate as a team and Officer Goldfuss has already jumped in and made an impact,” Thompson said. “His connections to students and staff has been impressive and he is willing to help everyone, and we are lucky to have him!”

Senior Zach Anderson is also enthusiastic about Officer Goldfuss’ arrival at Law.

“I think SROs are necessary in high schools,” Anderson said. “I think we can all feel a little safer knowing we have a law enforcement officer in the building.”

The way students at Law feel about Goldfuss is also noticeable.

“While I do not know Officer Goldfuss on a personal level, he is a good guy who cares about his job and our school,” Anderson said. “Kids around Law really seem to like his friendly attitude and approachability.”
