Creating and maintaining a safer school environment is the primary goal of every SRO…but how exactly should law enforcement prepare for a challenge of that magnitude? The Ohio School Resource Officers Association is hosting this five-day basic training for SRO’s to equip themselves with the information and skills they need to identify, address and prevent crime and violence in Ohio schools. The 36-hour class curriculum will cover every major responsibility and aspect of SRO’s, as well as Ohio School Laws, Crime Prevention Initiatives for Youth, and Local, State and Federal Resources. Certificates will be distributed to students who successfully attend all sessions and complete course exercises.
