Meet the School Resource Officers

Hi, I'm Tim Kahnand, I'm the school resource officer at the Central High School and Kellogg Middle School and I've been with the Rochester Police Department for about three years. I was interested in being a school resource officer because of the impact that it can have on young children in our community and the ability to be a positive role model for youth growing up. My favorite part about being in the schools is that I can build relationships with all of the students and staff members in my buildings and I get to learn about what's going on in their lives and help them grow and develop as they navigate school and the different activities they're in. I grew up in Rochester and it's really to be back in the schools and school district that I grew up in and I actually work with some of the teachers that I had when I was in middle school.
