There has been a great deal of good work in recent years involving police and other agencies in particular that work which has taken place within the context of schools. However, there is no work, which specifically relates to the role of police working full time in an educational setting and consequently no research of an evaluative nature. This research focuses on the role of one officer in a secondary school and looks at the level of interaction that he has with the whole school and its community and tries to examine whether through his programme of intervention he is able to meet the aims and objectives of the scheme.
