"Communities throughout the nation recognize that trained, sworn law enforcement officers assigned to schools make a difference".
(U. S. Department of Justice)

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 contact Lee Ann Morrison at the Kentucky Center for School Safety.
