The Floral Park Police Department
has continually recognized the
value of establishing a rapport with
the youth of our community through
various education related programs.
Since 1976, seeing a need to classify
complaints regarding youth and a
proportionate rise in malicious
damage as a high priority, a Youth
Officer has been designated in some
capacity on a part-time basis with the
goal developing a comprehensive
program to work with our young adults
and improve communications with this
important group.
Today that role is assigned to Police Officer John Groshans, a certified school resource officer, who has developed a rapport with community leaders and school educators. He has been teaching Internet safety in the local schools and to community groups covering such topics as:
PO Groshans has established himself as a valuable source of information and has introduced the I-Safe program into the schools. He tailored the program to meet the needs of his listeners and refreshes and updates the program as needed. He is readily available to speak to students to teach them of the dangers which lurk within the Internet. His service within the schools has proven him to be a trustworthy school liaison and a respected member of the Floral Park Police Department. His involvement in community activities and athletic organizations keep him visible within the village and in touch with the youths of the community. He attends meetings by such groups as the PTA and PTSA, presenting programs of interest to our students and parents.
