The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office Community Services Division, in partnership with Laurens School District 55, have spearheaded the task of addressing the community’s changing juvenile needs and to offer to the youth of our community the opportunity to succeed. The School Resource Officer (SRO) Program was developed to address juvenile crime and safety concerns in our local schools.
The SRO program places a Deputy in the district's elementary, middle, and high school(s) with the goal of creating and maintaining a safe, secure, and orderly learning environment for students, teachers, and staff. The SRO program reflects the community’s commitment of ensuring that its children are safe and secure. SRO’s represent a proactive strategy designed to bring prevention and intervention into the schools. SRO's are on campuses daily providing a deterrent to criminal activity by discouraging unwanted and undesirable visitors on the school grounds or in the surrounding area. The SRO provides support and training for school staff on issues of juvenile law, substance abuse, and school safety. They investigate crimes committed by juveniles and are involved in planning and executing several enforcement programs throughout the year. The School Resource Officer is a positive role model for many students who are not exposed to such role models in today’s society, and their presence in the school sends a strong message that violence and certain behaviors are not acceptable. |
