My name is David Dominick, and I am the School Resource Officer at the Cato-Meridian Jr./Sr. High School.  I live in Skaneateles with my wife and two children.  I grew up in Marcellus, NY where I attended Marcellus Central Schools. I earned my regents diploma and then went on to attend Onondaga Community College and Mount Vernon Nazarene College, before joining the New York State Police. I began my career as a Trooper by serving the Elbridge community, as well as the New York State Thruway before being promoted to the rank of Sergeant and being transferred to Long Island. I completed a 25+ year career serving in many different assignments across New York state, retiring as a Station Commander.

The culmination of my career as a New York State Trooper and my current assignment as the School Resource Officer continues a long heritage in my family.  Both my father and brother served/serve in Law Enforcement, and my mother served as a School Superintendent, my sister-in-law is a school administrator, and my wife substitute teaches.

I am also the music director and youth leader at the Auburn Church of the Nazarene.  I am an avid SCUBA diver, can walk you through Disney backwards with my eyes closed, and love to travel.

I am excited as I begin my career as a School Resource Officer at Cato-Meridian, and I encourage you to come by and say hello as I am somewhat new to this community.  Additionally, I want to be a resource for the faculty and staff, and am available to talk to parents and/or students about safety, bullying, social media issues or anything else from my previous career that may be of help.

Again, I am so happy to be here and to be a part of the Cato-Meridian Family!

Go Blue Devils!!!
