IT BEGINS AT SCHOOL
School Resource Officers (SRO) are deputies assigned
to serve schools in the unincorporated neighborhoods
of the county. They collaborate with educators,
students, parents, and the community to reduce
crime, drug abuse, bullying, and violence to help
facilitate a safe school environment. SROs present in
the classroom on the criminal justice system and the
role of law enforcement in the community. SROs also
foster positive relationships with students through
participation in extra-curricular activities, community
events, and student awards.
CONNECTING WITH COMMUNITY
We are stronger together. More than ever before,
public safety is a shared responsibility. Cultivating
relationships with the communities we serve allows us
to connect, better assess needs and provide proactive
crime prevention education. Connectivity is critical to
building trust and maintaining healthy relationships
and is a dedicated responsibility of WCSO. Community
Outreach Specialists work alongside our uniformed
deputies to build relationships within our community
and provide ongoing public safety education.
STAY CONNECTED
Connect with your community
and learn more about how we
are pioneering new ways to
maintain public safety:
