SCHOOL
SAFETY
The school
resource
officers (SRO) have numerous responsibilities,
with the most important assignment being school safety. On a daily basis
SRO's patrol the school grounds and building, especially during lunch hour
and before and after school. They handle any disturbances that occur
involving disruptive or violent students. Deter loitering on school
grounds, suppress gang activity, investigate suspected illegal drug
activity, and provide emergency medical service for the ill or injured.
Officers will also work extra-curricular activities, (ex. dances, sporting
events) to monitor student behavior. Also, deter smoking violations on
campus or in surrounding neighborhoods. SRO's will also work
with the school administration in the exercise of school discipline to
maintain a safe school environment.
PREVENTION
AND COMMUNITY
School
Resource
Officer's also take a proactive approach by teaching prevention to
students and staff. This includes class presentations to deter delinquent
behavior, organize special youth programming, and work with local
businesses directly effected by school day operations to minimize student
disruption. These officers will also give presentations to local civic
groups and parent-teachers organizations about youth-related issues.
STUDENTS
AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
Having the
opportunity to work closely with students and staff is one of the biggest
benefits of the program. With students, it gives the SRO an
opportunity to meet with an individual student or small group to discuss
student’s law related concerns relative to home, school or community.
Monitor individual student’s behavior and academic progress. Mentor
students and facilitate groups of students discussing youth issues such as
drugs, alcohol or violence.
With the
school administration, SRO's serve on school-district wide
committees, assist with program planning and help develop policy in
regards to school safety. Officers also serve on Building Consultation
Team to develop strategies to assist students. They can also serve as a
resource to administrators and teachers for law related questions and
instruct at teacher in-service.
