SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER (SRO)

****The Portage Township Schools SRO program has been designed to serve several important purposes including:  keeping the schools safe, building interaction with the students in a setting that promotes self-esteem and trust, interacting with students, faculty, community, and parents to promote positive relations, and educating students about the law and the importance of individual responsibility, while reinforcing the idea that the police are role models.

    Through my assignment at the schools, I am available to provide support for students, teachers, and staff in many areas that relate to law enforcement by being a visible active police presence on campus. 

    The success of the program depends on the confidence and respect earned from students, parents, and staff and the interaction, which takes place between everyone involved.  Feel free to call or contact me or one of our on site Juvenile Probation Officers if you have any questions or concerns.****
