Welcome to the School Resource Officer Room! School Resource Officers (SROs) serve as comprehensive resources in the schools to which they are assigned. The Center for the Prevention of School Violence's research-derived definition of an SRO is:

School Resource Officera certified law enforcement officer who is permanently assigned to provide coverage to a school or a set of schools. The SRO is specifically trained to perform three roles: law enforcement officer; law-related counselor; and law-related education teacher. The SRO is not necessarily a DARE officer (although many have received such training), security guard, or officer who has been placed temporarily in a school in response to a crisis situation but rather acts as a comprehensive resource for his/her school.

The following articles and links are resources for SROs and those who are interested in the approach. Additional Center materials are listed and can be obtained by contacting the Center.
