Safe Schools Resource Officers. The Attorney General’s Education-Law Enforcement Working Group has developed resource material for a Safe Schools Resource Officer Program, recognizing that the presence of a police officer can be a deterrent in fighting drug use and sales and other forms of criminal behavior in schools. Safe schools resource officers are police officers that undergo statutorily mandated training, as set forth in Article 1.9 of this Agreement. Besides enhancing school safety and security and facilitating the handling of delinquency complaints, the assignment of a safe schools resource officer on a full or part-time basis can help to enhance the working relationship between education and law enforcement officials. Most importantly, a Safe Schools Resource Officer program provides these specially trained officers an opportunity to interact with children in positive and constructive ways. It is understood and agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall, during the course of the annual conference convened, pursuant to Article 16 of this Agreement, discuss the feasibility and desirability of implementing this form of community policing.
