About UsJoin us on  by clicking here. "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 contact Lee Ann Morrison at the Kentucky Center for School Safety. Photos |
