Meet Your District 49 SRO's
Officer Joe Langlais
I have been an officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department since 2008. I started as a patrol officer in the Sand Creek Division before being selected to serve on the IMPACT team. I applied and was selected to serve as the SRO at Vista Ridge HS in 2014 and have served in that capacity ever since.
Prior to joining the CSPD, I served as an Infantry Officer in the US Army. I have been assigned to Ft Knox, Ft Benning, and Ft Carson and deployed to Iraq two times. I have a bachelor's degree in Aviation Management.
I grew up all along the east coast and in my spare time I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and traveling. In 2018, I completed my dream trip, a trek to the Mt Everest base camp. I became an SRO because I enjoy working with teenagers and helping them to achieve their goals. Working with kids every day is rewarding and helps me feel like I am making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Officer Brad Krause
I have been with CSPD since 2012 and started in the Stetson Hills Patrol division. I moved to Sand Creek Patrol division and then was hired as a Detective, first with the Crimes Against Children Unit and then the Robbery Unit for a total of 5 years. I went back to Gold Hill Patrol division and the Sand Creek Patrol division before being selected to be the School Resource Officer at Palmer High School in February 2021. I enjoy working with the Training Academy and Community related events when not working in the schools.
In 1996 and after a very fun-filled College Freshman year in North Dakota, I joined the United States Air Force as a Security Forces Airman and was stationed at the United States Air Force Academy and retired in 2019 after 20+ years of service.
I enjoy spending time with my wife and child, working on my house, most outdoor activities and I am really beginning to hate the snow and cold weather in my old age.
