SRO Program

Mission

The mission of the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program is to create a safer school environment by addressing key youth issues. This program aims to reduce incidents of delinquency in and around schools by combining the efforts of law enforcement and educational professionals. Together, we address critical topics including drug and alcohol abuse, youth violence, truancy, and other issues impacting students in an educational setting.

Goals

The following goals are central to the partnership between the City and the School District regarding the SRO Program:

  • Provide a Safe and Respectful School Environment: Ensuring that students, staff, and faculty feel secure and supported on school grounds.
  • Strengthen Relationships Between Officers and Students: Building trust and positive connections between law enforcement officers and students.
  • Support Educational Programs: Implementing programs focused on preventing tobacco, alcohol, and drug use, reducing violence, and promoting overall safety.

Our SRO Program is dedicated to fostering a positive, proactive approach to youth development and school safety.
