What is the program?

The SRO Program was first implemented in Flint, Michigan in 1951. Since the program's inception, it has successfully been put into practice in school districts and states all over America. Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack started the SRO Program in Baldwin County in 2007.

The program was implemented in partnership with the Baldwin County Public School System and started with an alternative education program dealing with at risk and special needs students. The program has since evolved to be a strong resource shared at schools throughout Baldwin County. Many other law enforcement agencies throughout Baldwin County have also implemented SRO Programs in order to provide services to all public schools in Baldwin County. With the increasingly high amounts of pressures our children are facing, growing up can be an extreme challenge. We understand the need to provide positive guidance and we are committed to providing them with a safe school environment.

Furthermore, the function of our program has adapted and changed to keep up with the growing needs and trends of our children and schools. We are partnered with schools by means of providing both student and staff trainings on issues such as bullying, internet safety, drug and alcohol awareness, and other real life issues which affect our children and communities within Baldwin County. We are currently serving Perdido Elementary, Pine Grove Elementary, Delta Elementary, Stapleton Elementary, Belforest Elementary, Rosinton Elementary, Elsanor Elementary, CF Taylor Alternative School, South Baldwin Center for Technology, Magnolia School, and Swift School.

The involvement of SROs extends far beyond the classroom and the normal workday. Officers participate in parent-teacher conferences and faculty meetings, student social and sporting events, and club projects. The presence of SROs tends to strengthen the student/police bonds and shows the officers' commitment to the students and their education and safety.

What is a School Resource Officer?

A School Resource Officer (SRO) is a certified law enforcement officer who is assigned full-time to work with schools. Accordingly, SROs receive many hours of ongoing specialized training. The concept is similar to the "cop on foot patrol" who knows the people he serves on a first name basis and is sensitive to their particular needs.

Like many adults, some students view police officers solely as enforcers of laws. By establishing a rapport with the SRO assigned to their school, students will not only gain positive role models, but also a better understanding of law enforcement officers. They will also better understand the many other duties and responsibilities associated with their profession aside from traditional law enforcement.

Likewise, SROs will gain a better perspective of the youth in their schools. By carefully assessing the needs of individual students, SROs will be more aware of the development of unhealthy or destructive behavioral patterns. Through early intervention, it is possible to redirect negative behaviors before they cause students to be referred to the criminal justice system.

SRO Programs

Alcohol Awareness

This program involves a classroom portion where facts about alcohol awareness are given. Then, an obstacle course is set up and students navigate through it while driving a pedal cart and wearing Drunk Buster goggles. Participants are asked to perform various activities while wearing goggles meant to simulate various levels of intoxication.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

Baldwin County Sheriff's Office offers site assessments for schools, businesses, non-for-profits, and other organizations upon request. These site assessments involve trained Deputies rating and assessing the security of buildings, grounds, and interiors.

D.A.R.E. Program

D.A.R.E. is a community-oriented police program which involves delivering a series of classes to students in public schools . It allows law enforcement officers to partner with school staff to work toward keeping young people from using illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. It also has components which address bullying and violence prevention. The Keepin' It Real Curriculum is a multicultural, school-based substance use prevention program for students from 5th grade to 8th grade. Keepin' it REAL uses a 10-lesson curriculum taught by trained officers in 45-minute sessions over 10 weeks. The curriculum is designed to help students assess the risks associated with substance abuse, enhance decision making and resistance strategies, improve anti-drug normative beliefs and attitudes, and reduce substance use. The narrative and performance-based curriculum draws from communication competence theory and a culturally grounded resiliency model to incorporate traditional ethnic values and practices that protect against substance use. The curriculum places special emphasis on resistance strategies represented in the acronym REAL: Refuse offers to use substances, Explain why you do not want to use substances, Avoid situations in which substances are used, and Leave situations in which substances are used.
