REMEMBERING OFFICER KURTIS JAMES 💙

The DPSCD Department of Public Safety mourns the passing of Security Officer Kurtis James, who served the students and staff of Western High School.

Officer James was a valued member of our DPSCD family. His work was about more than security—it was about being present, helping others, and contributing to a safe and supportive school environment.

Today, we remember his service, his presence, and the impact he had on the Western High School community.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest well, Officer James, CMB
