School Resource Officer

The School Resource Officer (SRO) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of students, staff, and faculty within the Pearl River school system. By placing dedicated law enforcement officers within schools, the SRO fosters a safe learning environment where students can thrive academically and socially.

SROs are not just law enforcement agents; they serve as educators, mentors, and role models for students. They proactively engage with students through various programs that promote safety awareness, conflict resolution, and drug prevention. By fostering positive relationships, SROs help build trust between law enforcement and the youth in our community.

The SRO also collaborates closely with school administrators, teachers, and parents to address concerns and manage school safety initiatives. Regular training and professional development keep SROs updated on current trends in youth issues, enabling them to effectively handle various challenges that may arise in a school setting.
