School Resource Officers

The Choctaw Sheriff's Office is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community, and our School Resource Officers (SROs) play a crucial role in achieving this goal. SROs are specially trained law enforcement officers assigned to work within educational institutions, building positive relationships with students, staff, and parents.

Our Mission:

The primary mission of our School Resource Officers is to create a safe and secure learning environment for students and staff. We strive to foster a positive atmosphere where education can flourish, and students can reach their full potential without concerns about their safety.

What School Resource Officers Do:

Safety and Security: SROs work closely with school administrators to develop and implement safety plans. They conduct regular security assessments to identify and address potential safety concerns. SROs are trained to respond swiftly and effectively to any emergency situation that may arise on school grounds.

Community Engagement: Building positive relationships with students, staff, and parents is a key focus. SROs actively participate in school events, clubs, and programs to engage with the school community. They provide educational presentations on topics such as bullying, drug prevention, and internet safety.

Conflict Resolution and Mediation:SROs act as mediators to resolve conflicts among students and promote a peaceful school environment. They collaborate with school counselors and mental health professionals to address underlying issues affecting students.

Law-Related Education: SROs facilitate educational programs that promote a better understanding of the law and legal system. They serve as valuable resources for students, answering questions about legal issues and law enforcement careers.

How SROs Benefit the Community:

Enhanced School Safety: SROs contribute to a secure school environment, providing peace of mind for students, parents, and school staff.

Positive Community Relations: By actively engaging with the community, SROs strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and residents.

Prevention and Education: SROs actively work to prevent issues before they escalate, focusing on education and early intervention.

Role Models for Students: SROs serve as positive role models, demonstrating the importance of integrity, responsibility, and community involvement.

We encourage students, parents, and school staff to reach out to our School Resource Officers with any questions or concerns. Together, we can continue to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone in the Choctaw community.
