E.C.H.O. Unit

Enforcement, Crime Free Housing, Homelessness, Operations

The former "Bicycle Patrol Unit" was formed in the summer of 1997 with the purpose in mind of addressing all "quality of life" issues throughout the City of St. George. The rebranded E.C.H.O. Unit has become the spearhead of the department's Community Oriented Policing (C.O.P.) efforts and works tirelessly to make sure that your public places-parks, trails, schools, shopping centers etc. remain free from crime and disorder. No matter what the task at hand may be, the E.C.H.O. Unit officers hold true to a preventive "No Broken Windows" enforcement philosophy.

School Resource Officers

The Washington County School District and the St. George Police Department have had a long standing relationship, with officers being assigned to specific schools, spanning more than 30 years.  The program is well established and has proven to be beneficial, not only for the District and Police Department but also for the students and their family members.  During the school year, SROs report to duty at their school and typically work during school hours.  They are also responsible for security during on-campus events (basketball games, dances, etc).  When school is not in session, SROs either take time off or report to other Police Divisions for break and/or summer assignments.  Those may include, Traffic/Motors, Bike Patrol, Investigations, or assisting with Patrol Staffing.  The SROs really enjoy their assignment and tend to stay in that role for several years, they find it very fulfilling and challenging.

Crossing Guards

Crossing Guards are employees of the St. George Police Department but are assigned to assist elementary age children in crossing busy thoroughfares within St. George City Limits. While the times may vary, Crossing Guards are at their posts to help children cross on their way to and from school at marked school crosswalks. Because these positions must be staffed, we are frequently looking to add new crossing guards to our team.
