Safe School-based Enforcement through Collaboration, Understanding, and Respect
What is the SECURe State and Local Policy Rubric?
The U.S. Departments of Education (ED) and Justice (DOJ) have designed the SECURe State
and Local Policy Rubric to provide information for States and local governments looking to
develop or revise statutes, regulations, and written agreements related to the appropriate
incorporation of school-based law enforcement officers—commonly referred to as school
resource officers (SROs)—into school learning environments, with the goal of preventing
unnecessary or inappropriate arrests, referrals to law enforcement, contact with the juvenile
justice system, and violations of civil rights laws. The SECURe State and Local Policy Rubric
provides examples of policies in place throughout the country that help communities establish
responsible school-police partnerships. These examples are not an exhaustive list, and other
State and local laws and policies may provide helpful guidance to govern the role of SROs in the
school learning environment.
