The Mission of the Stockton Unified School District Department of Public Safety is to advocate
for equality and inclusivity by embracing a guardian mentality to reduce disproportionality and
promote a positive educational environment; to create and maintain a vital, healthy, safe, and just
community and to improve the quality of life for all.
The Vision of the Stockton Unified School District Department of Public Safety is to bring our core
values to life in our work to prevent our students from entering the ‘School to Prison Pipeline’
through the implementation of our Four Cornerstones of Redesigning School Safety: Restorative
Justice, Youth Engagement, Community Involvement, and a Holistic Approach.
The Stockton Unified School School District Department of Public Safety believes justice must be
fair, justice must be transparent, and justice must be equal, and the Department is committed to
our core value “Safeguarding our Future” by providing a safe educational environment in order for
students to graduate college, career, and community ready.
