School Resource Officer “SRO” Program

The perception of imminent danger in the school environment has become commonplace in many communities, leaving parents, students, and school personnel with, at best, a tenuous sense of security. The Clark County School District addresses safety concerns by employing a School Police Department to utilize the concept of community oriented policing, school resource officer, and coordination with the local police agencies. The school resource officer (SRO) concept offers an approach to improving school security and alleviating community fears. Part Q of Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, defines the SRO as “a career law enforcement officer, with sworn authority, deployed in community-oriented policing, and assigned by the employing police department or agency to work in collaboration with school and community-based organizations.
