School Resource Officer

Course Hours: 40.0 Hours

Course Description

This foundational course is for officers assigned to a school and/or campus in the state of Georgia. This course will equip officers with the baseline knowledge, skills, and techniques to engage students, work with supportive staff, and protect school grounds. The course will provide information on the roles and responsibilities of SROs, legal frameworks, and trending concerns for the future of our youth. Through an understanding of obstacles that may affect our youth, officers will apply learned techniques throughout the 40 - hour week course to better prepare them for successful service in our schools across Georgia.
