• The School Resource Officer Program

     

    The primary mission of the School Resource Officer is three-fold; formal instruction and presentation, informal consultation pertaining to law enforcement and safety issues, and law enforcement.

    The SRO is not intended to serve as a "security officer" in the school, nor is he there to enforce disciplinary policies. The ultimate responsibility is to carry out his duties as a Silver Creek Police Officer as expressed and interpreted through the Silver Creek Police Department chain of command.
