School Resource Officers:
The SRO, School Resource
Officer, is a nationally accepted
program involving the placement of a law
enforcement officer within the
educational environment. The officer,
while in school, is involved in a
variety of functions aimed at
prevention. Besides being an active high
profile law enforcement officer, the SRO
is a resource for students, parents,
teachers and administrators regarding
law issues. Another duty for the SRO is
being a link to other service agencies,
which provide preventive and counseling
services within the school district.
Working hand-in-hand with the Principal
in each school, the SRO assists with
finding solutions to problems affecting
school age children. The basic outline
of duties for the SRO includes
investigating crimes that occur within
the school and on school property,
providing security at school sporting
events, creating a positive role model
for students, creating a link between
law enforcement and the students, and
being a resource for parents, staff,
administrators, and students in regards
to law enforcement and community
problems.
