"Communities throughout
the nation recognize that trained, sworn law
enforcement officers assigned to schools make a
difference".

Kentucky
statutes define a SRO as a sworn law
enforcement officer who has specialized training to
work with youth at a school site. These SROs
serve in a variety of roles, including law
enforcement officer, law-related educator,
problem-solver, and community liaison.
There are approximately 230 SRO's in over half of
Kentucky's counties. For more information
