Over the years, it’s becoming increasingly common to see police officers patrolling the school grounds. While their primary duty is to help keep students and staff safe, you might be surprised to learn the role of a School Resource Officer (SROs) goes beyond law enforcement. In the latest episode, I’m speaking with Lt. Ken Blandenburg from the Monroe County Sheriff's office. As a father of three, Lt. Blandenburg is used to wearing a lot of different hats on any given day. Listen in as he shares more about the day-to-day duties of school police officers, including their focus on educating students on topics like ATV safety, preventing bullying, and peer pressure. We’ll also hear important messages from Lt. Blandenburg on the impact of social media, smartphones, and gaming on today’s youth culture.
