School Resource Officers

The School Resource Officer Unit is a specialized division within the police department dedicated to fostering a safe and secure learning environment for students, faculty, and staff. Our School Resource Officers (SROs) are here to keep schools safe and support students every day. More than just law enforcement, SROs work as mentors and partners with teachers, parents, and the community. They provide safety programs, help prevent problems before they happen, and build positive relationships with students. Together, we’re creating a welcoming environment where learning can thrive and everyone feels secure.

• Mentorship: Act as positive role models, providing guidance and support to students while promoting trust between youth and law enforcement.
• Collaboration: Work closely with school administrators, counselors, and community organizations to address issues impacting student safety and well-being.
