"Sit down please." says the CPOs on duty.

CPO stands for Campus Patrol Officer. We go around the campus looking and telling students to be safe and follow rules.

There is a captain, luitenent, a sergeant, and privates. 
The captain is in charge of basically everything. They take attendance in the morning and he/she also walks around the campus making sure that the CPO is doing things right and to making sure that everything is safe. 

The captain wears a white helmet and holds a clip board just in case he or she needs to write anything down. They always carry the keys to the CPO locker room and they have a whistle.
The luitenent fills in for the captain when he or she doesn't report for duty. The luitenent has stations to go to. They only go to “Parking" and "F Building" in an interchanging way.

The sergeant fills in for the captain if the captain and the luitenent doesn't report for duty. The Sargent has the same jobs as the luitenent, but they are opposite. If the luitenent has "Parking" then the Sargent has “F building". If the luitenent has "F building" then the sergeant has “Parking". The sergeant wears a white helmet, has a whistle, and sometimes holds a clip board and the keys to the locker room. 

Then there are the privates. They go to the stations that they are told to go, but they CAN change at any time. They wear yellow helmets.

There are stations that everyone has to report to:

-Parking
-F building
-E building
-G building
-Courtyard
-Cafeteria

All of these stations require shoes because you constantly need to walk in and around you station. Parking is they only station that doesn't require walking because you open the car doors for the kids to get out. 
CPOs can report students of they are acting up. The captain writes a referral and gives it to the staff member in charge of this program. 

There are 4 squads of CPOs. Each squad had 1 captain, 1 luitenent, and 1 sergeant. Also each squad has around 10 privates. Each week a different squad reports for duty in number order. First is squad 1, then squad 2 and so on. After squad 4, then squad one reports for duty.

Being a CPO is hard work. You have to be one time every time it is your turn to patrol the campus. If you are absent or leave, then things get hectic. We have to substitute your place with another CPO. We HAVE to report for duty because the safety of our school depends on it!
