Meet Our School Officers

Beachwood Schools is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment. To enhance campus safety, we have a partnership with the Beachwood Police Department to assign certified police officers to all of our schools. These officers are an integral part of our school community, conducting routine patrols and building positive relationships with our students, staff, and families. We invite you to meet Beachwood’s dedicated officers and say hello when you see them around campus.
