Blizek Named New Liaison Officer for Roseville High

The city of Roseville announced this week that Lacey Blizek will become police liaison officer starting this fall at Roseville Area High School. 

Blizek replaces Maureen Sikorra, who recently retired from the Roseville police force. She has been a patrol officer for Roseville since March, 2005, according to the city.

“The school liaison officer (SLO) plays a critical component for providing public safety in Roseville. The SLO is in a unique position to constantly and positively interact with young adults in a setting comfortable to them,”  Roseville Police Chief Rick Mathwig said in a statement. “The SLO pairs with school staff to increase safety in and around RAHS.” .

The city noted that during the school year, Roseville High is a town unto itself with an enrollment of 2,100 students.
"It requires additional security than Roseville patrol officers can provide. So the school district pays approximately two-thirds of an SLO’s salary to work at the school. The SLO serves in addition to school personnel to provide safety in and around the high school grounds."  

During the school year Officer Blizek will spend school days at RAHS. She may travel to other schools within the district, if needed." 

When school is not in session, Blizek will will return to regular patrol duties, the city said.  

Blizek's Background

According to the city, she has extensive training in several areas including blood alcohol testing operator (DWI offenses), suspect interview and search and seizure classes.

Blizek is also in charge of the Roseville Police Benevolent Association and has participated in the Police Unity Tour in the Washington D.C. area.
