Roles an Officer Plays in a School:As a MediatorAll schools have experienced the problem of social cliques. While they
are divided in to different types of groups depending on the school, this
is a universal problem. Many conflicts arise between different groups. While
some may only be between individuals, many are between larger groups. The
authority that you already have established as a police officer provides
you with a unique position to mediate these conflicts. Effective mediation
is a time saving strategy. The time spent mediating what may seem to be
a small conflict can help prevent further problems both in and out of school.
