School Resource Officers

Ensuring school safety is our highest priority. Our main mission is to provide a school environment that is free of crime, the fear of crime, intimidation and disorder, so that school administration and students can achieve their education goals without distraction. The School Resource Officer (SRO) works closely with school staff, students and parents and are included in every major discussion related to school safety and disorder. The primary activities of the SRO are problem solving, education, mentorship, and crime prevention.

Martin Police Department’s School Resource Officer program works under the philosophy of the Triad Concept. The triad concept divides the SRO’s responsibilities into three areas: Teacher, Counselor, and Law Enforcement Officer. By training law enforcement to educate, counsel, and protect our school communities, we continue to lead by example and promote a positive image of law enforcement to our youth.
