The Impact of School Resource Officers on Community-Based Policing
Effective school resource officer (SRO) programs recognize and utilize the special training and expertise law enforcement officers possess that is well suited to effectively protect and serve the school community.
SROs contribute to the school safety teams in three specific ways: (1)
ensuring a safe and secure campus, (2) educating students about law-related topics, and (3) mentoring students as informal counselors and role models. To be highly effective, as is expected of them, SROs should be trained in the foundation of this concept of three roles (SRO Triad), which includes law enforcement, informal counseling, and education.
