Meet Jessica Diaz

Question: Introduce yourself! What do you like to be called, what is your title, and where are you from?
Answer: Officer Diaz, SRO (School Resource Officer) Diaz, I am from Cashmere WA.
Q: How long have you been in Quincy? What do you like about working in Quincy?
A: I’ve been working in Quincy for almost 3 years, I love the community support
Q: What is your education background and general work experience? Have you always worked in law enforcement?
A: I have a B.A. in criminal justice and business administration. No I’ve worked various jobs, from retail to a barista at Starbucks, youth mentor, dance teacher, 911 dispatcher, I’ve done a little bit of everything. 
Q: How long have you been in law enforcement? Did you always know you wanted to be in law enforcement?
A: 3 years on the job. Since the age of 21, It took me a little longer than most people because back then there was only one opening and agencies were hardly ever hiring. I was working as a juvenile detention officer when I became interested in law enforcement. I love working with youth and I remember seeing the police officers coming in and out. I remember seeing a female officer and thinking I want to be like her one day. 
Q: Is this your first time as SRO?
A: Yes, my first year
Q: For those who don’t know what an SRO does, what does your day-to-day work look like?
A: In the morning I patrol around the schools or greet kids. I then go to different schools and walk around so the students and staff members know I’m available and I’m there. I go hang out with students during lunch and I go play with the younger one’s at recess. I catch up on reports and do any welfare checks with families through the days. I get to speak to students if they have a problem or something to report. 
Q: What are some common misconceptions about SROs? What do you wish people knew about you and your work?
A: That I am only there to arrest kids. My job is to hopefully be a mentor to kids. For them to trust law enforcement and come to me when they are struggling. 
Q: What is your favorite part of your job?
A: The relationships I get to build with the students. I love working with kids and I love being a cop so I get the opportunity of both. 
Q: Anything else you’d like to add?
A: I’m thankful to be part of this community
