SROs (School Resource Officers)

School Resource Officers (SROs) are law enforcement officials assigned to work in schools. Their primary role is to ensure safety, promote a secure learning environment, and serve as a resource for students, staff, and families. SROs often engage in preventive education on topics like bullying and substance abuse and may also provide crisis intervention. They help foster positive relationships between students and law enforcement while addressing any safety concerns within the school community. In essence, SROs blend security and education to enhance safety and support in educational settings.
