Purpose
The School Resource Officers support and facilitate the educational process within the schools located within the city limits by providing a safe and secure environment through building and establishing meaningful relationships with students and staff and proactively interacting with the school community to ensure the enforcement of city and state laws, preservation of public order, protection of life and the prevention, detection, or investigation of crime. The officers work effectively with students, parents, school personnel and community agencies to support teaching and learning in the schools.
The School Resource Officers patrol school properties to protect students, staff and visitors from physical harm and prevent loss to property resulting from criminal activity.
