School Resource Officers
Collaboration between law enforcement officers and schools is an important step in increasing school safety. Having law enforcement officers involved with schools, stems from the practice of community policing. Community policing utilizes the assistance of community members for identifying and prioritizing problems and developing solutions. The school community may involve the following: superintendents, administrators, principals and assistant principals, teachers and assistants, counselors, school nurses, school social workers and psychologists, bus drivers, custodians, maintenance and cafeteria personnel, students and parents. In a School Resource Officer program the members of the school community partner with the law enforcement officers assigned to their school to create a setting that is safe and secure, with a focus on prevention and early intervention activities.
