Regardless of location or demographics, some high school students experience high levels of stress stemming from mental health issues, difficult home lives, or other factors. School Resource Officer Nick Stetzer is passionate about his opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of the students (and faculty) at Wausau East High School\u2014where he was once a student\u2014and, since October 2017, his therapy dog, Badge, has joined SRO Stetzer in his efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the therapy dog program started by SRO Stetzer is to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression in students, with the ultimate goal of reducing the number of schoolchildren in crisis while also creating a better learning environment for those attending school in Wausau.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these positive goals, the project took significant effort by SRO Stetzer to get off the ground. He first took the initiative to train his dog, Badge, as a therapy dog, then approached WPD requesting that he be able to use Badge within his duties at the high school. Command staff was resistant to the idea at first, but SRO Stetzer diligently researched other communities\u2019 therapy dog programs to support his idea. There was some skepticism that a therapy dog would actually have a positive effect and not detract from the responsibilities of SRO Stetzer. Together with his supervisor, Lieutenant Nathan Cihlar, SRO Stetzer solicited feedback from the school district, researched potential legal issues, and garnered support from the agency\u2019s insurance carrier, and, in fall 2017, this persistence paid off as Badge was permitted to join SRO Stetzer on the job.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for the school and WPD to see the positive effects of the therapy dog program, which encouraged SRO Jeff Schremp at the neighboring high school, Wausau West High School, to also introduce a therapy dog to his school. This time the agency purchased the therapy dog, which joined the program in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The program\u2019s outcomes are promising so far. For example, at Wausau East High School, the number of students taken into protective custody for posing a threat to themselves dropped from 12 three years ago to 2 in the past year. While other factors have also contributed to this decrease, the therapy dog program has been a significant positive influence on student mental health. In addition, the program has encouraged more positive interactions between students and police officers, and there is some evidence that school attendance has improved. According to Lt. Cihlar, \u201cThe SROs have made connections with youth who have never approached them before the dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #ae98aa;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RECOMMENDATIONS<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"Figures---Sidebars_Sidebar-Paragraph\">The Wausau Police Department offers some key recommendations for other agencies looking to implement a therapy dog program in their local schools or community:<\/p>\n<div class=\"_idGenObjectLayout-1\">\n<div id=\"_idContainer445\">\n<div id=\"_idContainer443\" class=\"_idGenObjectStyleOverride-3\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"Figures---Sidebars_Side-Bar-Bullets\">Approach the project with an open mind; be willing to give it a chance to succeed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Figures---Sidebars_Side-Bar-Bullets\">Consult with school officials, insurance carriers, and the agency\u2019s legal team to identify any concerns.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Figures---Sidebars_Side-Bar-Bullets\">Work with the school to develop an implementation plan.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Figures---Sidebars_Side-Bar-Bullets\">Identify officers who are passionate about their work and the idea to serve as therapy dog handlers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_idGenObjectLayout-1\">\n<div id=\"_idContainer448\" class=\"_idGenObjectStyleOverride-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_idGenObjectAttribute-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.policechiefmagazine.org\/spotlight-the-new-school-resource-officer-in-wausau\/\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The impact of the therapy dog program has expanded beyond Wausau schools to the wider community, where the dogs have turned out to be an asset to relationship building. Even when school is out, the dogs accompany their handlers, proving beneficial in foot patrols during public festivals, fairs, and concerts. \u201cThey are [in] high demand for visits to community organizations and community events,\u201d says Lt. Cihlar, adding, \u201cThe dogs are a natural and constant attraction for citizens and youth to interact with officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the local mental health care facility, North Central Health Care, saw the positive effects and purchased a therapy dog, while another local school district has also implemented a therapy dog program. SROs Stetzer and Schremp presented on the program at the Wisconsin SRO conference, and they were asked to respond to Barron County School District when Jayme Closs went missing, as well as when she was found. The program is recognized within Wisconsin as an asset to those in crisis, including high school students. <span style=\"font-family: Webdings;\">&#x1f6e1;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 550px; border-radius: 25px; background-color: #f5a81c; border-style: none;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Does your agency have an initiative or project you\u2019d like to see featured?<br \/>\nEmail us at <a href=\"mailto:editor@theiacp.org\">EDITOR@THEIACP.ORG<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advances in research and medicine have shown excess stress to be harmful to those who experience it, and, unfortunately, youth are not exempt from its negative effects.
