Officer Dana Woodford keeps the school hallways safe

Posted Mar 15, 2012 @ 08:49 AM

In Nov. 2003, about a month after Redwood Falls Police Officer Dana Woodford started her new assignment in the local schools, she had to make a decision.

A high school girl assaulted another student on school grounds, and Woodford had to step in to make an arrest...

...of a student....

...in the school cafeteria....

...during lunchtime, with a hundred students watching.

Woodford approached the girl and quietly suggested they step into the office.

“Get away from me!” the girl shouted, knocking Woodford’s hand away and throwing in a few four-letter words.

Woodford had a choice. She could walk away and approach the student later, or she could take control right then.

Woodford made a decision.
