School Resource Officer (SRO). Responsibilities
School Resource Officer (SRO). The SRO is a duly-appointed, armed, Police Officer who works in the schools and is to provide immediate law enforcement assistance in the event of serious physical violence and crime. The SRO acts as both a deterrent and response to protect the safety of students and staff. The SRO supplements support of the school security staff (unarmed security staff) to ensure campus safety, where applicable. Because the SRO is assigned on a daily basis as the representative of a school, the SRO should be considered as active security staff members of their assigned schools. The SRO assists with matters related to safety, security, and the exchange of information. As a general practice, unless there is a clear and imminent threat to safety, the SRO should act only upon request of school administrators and as a last resort to the actions of school administrators. Requests for SRO law enforcement assistance are to be channeled through a school administrator. See Appendix 1 for details of the SRO role and responsibilities.
