The Support Services Division is responsible for the School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit. All of the SROs are assigned to a Campbell County School from Elementary to High School including the Tech Center, and the alternative education school.
The School Resource Officer Unit is a community policing-based approach practiced in the school environment. School Resource Officers are more than law enforcement officers on campus; they fulfill three main roles, as well as many other smaller roles, within the school community.
The SRO is, first and foremost, a law enforcement officer with the goal of creating and maintaining a safe, secure, and orderly environment for students, faculty, and staff. The SRO does this by enforcing laws, investigating complaints, and “keeping the peace”.
The SRO acts as a law-related presenter. The SRO will share special law enforcement expertise through presentations in the classroom to promote a better understanding of our laws and legal system. The SRO also provides legal resource guidance to students, parents, teachers, and staff, and acts as a link to support services both inside and outside the schools.
