SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
Hatboro-Horsham High School participates in the School Resource Officer (S.R.O.) program. The SRO is an asset used by the community and the school in an attempt to address situations in the lives of students in a forum other than the judicial system. The School Resource Officer program (SRO) is a nationally accepted program involving the placement of a law enforcement officer within the educational environment. The officer, while in school, is involved in a variety of functions aimed at prevention. Besides being an active high profile law enforcement officer, the SRO is a resource for students, parents, teachers and administration regarding law issues. Another duty for the SRO is being a link to other service agencies which provide preventive and counseling services within the school district. Working hand in hand with the administration, the SRO assists with finding solutions to problems affecting school age children of the new millennium. The SRO program is a proactive approach to deal with the pressures today’s young people find themselves having to confront. This includes the use of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, along with peer pressure, gang activity, etc.
