The Department of Public Safety is a police department with a specialized focus on school safety. Our officers patrol several school sites within the Stockton Unified School District. All of our officers are considered school resource officers and patrol various Elementary sites. However, we developed a School Resource Program to aid the community in identifying our secondary education School Resource Officers who are assigned to specific sites. The goal of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program is to build positive relationships with students and staff while providing a safe school environment and deterrence to crime. SROs ensure protection of students and staff and provide positive support for students through mentoring.
In addition to improving security, carefully selected, well-trained SROs bridge gaps between youth and law enforcement, creating positive impressions that transcend the school environment. These officers also help at-risk youth change behaviors that might otherwise lead to involvement with the criminal justice system.
