School Resource Officer Program

School Resource Officers (SROs) play a key role in schools and are part of a much larger strategy in supporting our youth and families.

The roles within the schools have been designed in direct consultation with the district and work effectively utilizing the current allocated resources.

The role of SRO’s in schools is to:

• Provide enforcement, intervention, education at Surrey schools;
• Foster relationships with both students and administration at Surrey secondary and elementary schools;
• Facilitate many different programs and initiatives designed to promote positive choices for kids at a young age and to provide accessible support and guidance to parents
• Work closely with Surrey safe schools liaisons

SRO’s are assigned to a region of schools so that they are familiar with the region and each school’s unique context, but they are not stationed in schools. They work closely with the schools, school district and safe school liaisons to provide enforcement, intervention, and education. There are multiple officers assigned to each region on any given day.

Together with parents, community, Surrey Schools, we need to positively attach youth to their family and school.
