The School Resource Officer Program has the main responsibility of school safety. Whether it is the safety of staff or students, they ensure that the environment for learning is a safe one. Their main duty is to deter and handle any criminal activity that occurs on campus.

Their daily duties include walking hallways during and between classes, monitoring the camera system for any problems, handling student disputes, and sometimes just lending an ear. This is a multi-dimensional job that requires officers to be many things to many people.
