The SROs take pride in working collaboratively with school administrators, teachers, students, parents and the communities that surround the schools to achieve a safe learning environment. Building positive, everyday relationships with these community members helps ensure trust and partnership so students can reach their fullest potential. SROs work hard to bridge the gap between law enforcement and youth so they feel safe going to officers for help. The connections made at this age help build long-lasting relationships between students and law enforcement well after students graduate.
