OUR MISSION
“Empowering students to experience lives uninterrupted by violence, substance abuse, and destructive decisions“
School Safety Units
School Resource Officers provide law enforcement, education and law-related counseling services to elementary, middle, high and alternative schools in the county. They seek to educate students about the consequences of crime and the benefits of being a law-abiding, responsible citizen. They also seek to develop a rapport with students and parents to make them more supportive of law enforcement in general. The School Resource Unit includes several specialty programs.
School Crossing Guards (SCGs) and Traffic Control Officers (TCOs) are part-time, civilian members of the Sheriff’s Office, under the supervision of the School Resource Unit. The SCGs help ensure the safe movement of pedestrians to and from schools at designated locations; TCOs assist by controlling vehicular traffic around some of the more congested school campuses. SCGs and TCOs receive classroom and field training for school crossing procedures, traffic control, first aid, and human diversity.
