How Will Having A School Resource Officer In The Schools Prevent or Deter Crime?
• SRO’s are proactive! Having a School Resource Officer deters crime. For example if a police vehicle is sitting at a bank, will someone rob the bank? • SROs are trained to educate students, faculty and staff on a variety of topics. • Law enforcement presence. Something occurs- no need to contact police; they are already there! • Counsel students- School counselors have 200-300 kids each. In some cases, SROs will assist school counselors. Deter suicides, pregnancies and violence. • Community Oriented Program (Police and Community working together).
