or email School Resource Officer.
The School Resource Officer Program places a full time law enforcement officer in the schools with the goal of creating and maintaining a safe educational environment for students, teachers and staff.

A School Resource Officer has proven to be a valuable resource for their assigned schools as well as the school district to which they are assigned.

The SRO has four basic roles to fulfill:
  • Being a law enforcement officer their primary purpose is to keep peace in their schools so students will have the proper environment for learning.
  • They are advisors who provide guidance to students about law enforcement questions.
  • They are a resource to act as a link to support services both inside and outside the school environment.
  • They are law-related teachers who provide the schools with an additional resource by sharing their expertise in the law-related education classroom.
Beyond these identified roles and, perhaps most important, SRO's are Positive Role Models for many students who are not exposed to such role models in today's society.
