School Resource Officer Laws

School Resource Officer (SRO) laws govern the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement officers stationed in schools to enhance safety. These laws ensure that SROs are trained to handle school-specific situations, focus on prevention and education, and foster positive relationships with students. They often outline the authority SROs have on school property, their involvement in emergency preparedness, and protocols for addressing student behavior. The aim is to create a secure learning environment while balancing safety with students’ rights and well-being.
