Police SROs are responsible for police-related activities involving the school to which they are assigned. The SRO’s role is to serve as the police department on campus. They establish and maintain a rapport with the students, faculty and the surrounding community. Building a relationship is accomplished through after school programs, classes such as Gang Resistance Education and Training or G.R.E.A.T., summer programs and knowledge of students' individual desires, goals and family situations.

SRO’s also serve as mentors and guidance counselors. The SRO is an integral extension of the police department that can positively influence youth at an early and meaningful period of their lives.
