School Resource Officer
The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer Program is comprised of two deputies serving the Morrow County School District and Ione School District. The primary focus of the SRO Program is to provide regular deputy presence in the schools in our service area.
By providing deputies to be a regular presence in schools, we recognize the terrific opportunity we have to positively impact the lives of young people and to represent to them adult role models who are not only law enforcement officers, but also people who care for their welfare and success.
The SRO’s focus on three main areas: Mentoring, Resource to School Staff, and Conducting Law Enforcement Investigations.
Mentoring: SROs are encouraged to spend time in schools getting to know young people through regular interaction. Building relationships, being approachable, and participating in discussions when students face difficulties extends the Sheriff’s Office as a problem-solving resource in the community.
Resource to school staff: SROs collaborate with education professionals to identify long lasting solutions to problems affecting students, parents, and the school staff and environment. SROs are there to assist and advise the school in the development of safety plans and procedures for dealing with everything from school violence to unexpected emergencies.
Conducting law enforcement investigations: When alerted to possible juvenile delinquency or other concerns that may affect the well-being of young people, SROs are expected to provide thorough front line investigations and bring those matters to an appropriate conclusion.
The School Resource Officer Program is a dynamic front-line program that provides proactive community police service to our most valued citizens. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to this opportunity to prevent crime, assist young people, parents, and teachers, and to provide leadership and mentoring to children in Morrow County.
