School Resource Officers

The School Resource Program is also under the Community Services Section. The School resource Officers are assigned directly to the school and spend their entire tour of duty at that school. Several times a year questions are asked about the School Resource Program. It is a nationally accepted program involving the placement of a law enforcement officer within the educational environment on several different levels. The officer is involved in a variety of functions:

  • As a visible, active law enforcement figure on campus, dealing with any law-related areas;

  • As a classroom source for instruction in the following areas: Law related education and educational programs in criminal law and drug awareness; As an extension of the principal's office in dealing with specifics or in unique areas or the principal's request

  • As a source to teachers, parents, and students for conferences or on individual basis, dealing with individual problems or questions;

  • As a counseling source in areas which may affect the educational environment but may be of a law-related nature;

The School Resource officers are always in uniform while on campus. The following schools have officers assigned to them:

Wilson Jr. High School - Officer Ben Roth 712-328-6476
