The Kirkwood Call

Two dogs from the K-9 Unit, Roscoe and Oscar, came to Kirkwood High School to search for illegal drugs on Feb. 16. The random search conducted by the Kirkwood Police Department took place during homeroom and lasted 20 minutes. They checked lockers and backpacks and coats that were put in the hallway, Dr. Michael Havener, principal, said. They were able to move around different portions of the campus. Its a random selection of the campus. We dont do the same spot every time, but we do certain areas and they did a wonderful job covering the campus in a reasonable amount of time and in an appropriate way.

Cynthia Casserly, Police Officer

“I’ve always wanted to be a police officer ever since I was a kid. I finally realized that I need to make my dream come true, and that’s when I got hired at Kirkwood. [I like] the diversity of Kirkwood. We have a little bit of everything from all walks of life. That’s what makes it so interesting.” 

TKC: What is your proudest moment or accomplishment you’ve had with your job? 
“My proudest moment was [when] I had a young lady involved in heroine. Her parents were having a lot of trouble and she was obviously having a lot of trouble. I talked to [the young lady] at length. Then not until about a month later I saw the mother on the street and she actually hugged me and thanked me. Her daughter had gone to treatment. She was getting a job and starting to turn her life around. That’s why I do what I do. But a lot of times, we don’t get the closure. With the calls like that, we don’t always know what happens [in the end]. We don’t [always] know if we’ve had any impact.” 

TKC: Do you have any advice for anyone interested in law enforcement? 
“[My advice] is to finish schooling and get a college degree. More doors are open that way. Have a love for it, be able to talk to people, and don’t have any criminal history at all.”
