|---|
The five-day SRO Basic Training course provides the participant with the history, philosophy and basic skills to serve as an SRO. Participants will receive instruction in juvenile law, communication skills, development of a referral network, identification and ways to handle exceptional students, and building rapport. In addition, participants will learn about current trends in SRO programs, security related issues on campuses, and emergency management.
The course is offered primarily for law enforcement personnel who have been involved in school-based programs for less than three years. School administrators and persons interested in increasing their knowledge of the SRO program will benefit from this training. The curriculum is approved by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission as an "Advanced Course" and is a salary incentive course for law enforcement officers who successfully complete an exam.
*NOTE: This class will be held concurrently with the conference. This means that attendees will not be able to attend all the regular conference sessions during the day. HOWEVER, FASRO has invited the attendees to participate in all of the after-hour functions.
***This is one of the courses necessary for the SROP designation. |
