Student Resource Officers (SROs) are employed by a local police or sheriff's agency and work closely with school administrators in an effort to create a safer environment for both students and staff. SROs are seen not only in the United States, but also in Canda and Australia. The responsibilities of SROs are similar to regular police officers in that they have the ability to make arrests, respond to calls for service, and document incidents. SROs typically have additional duties, including mentoring and conducting presentations on youth-related issues. SROs are not synonymous with school based law enforcement (SBLE) officers – which are typically employed by a school district's law enforcement agency, rather than local or city law enforcement – though they are often used interchangeably.
