In this episode, we explore the evolving role of School Resource Officers (SROs) and their growing impact on school communities. From their origins in public safety to their current place in educational environments, we explore how the responsibilities, expectations, and perceptions of SROs have changed over time.

Our guests discuss the delicate balance between safety and support, the importance of relationship-building in schools, and the challenges SROs face in today’s climate. Whether you're a parent, policymaker, or educator, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how SROs are shaping, and being shaped by, the schools they serve.
