The School Resource Officer program is based on three concepts: classroom instruction, campus safety, and mentoring. Schools tailor the program to meet their needs by choosing activities and "components" within the concepts.
| Classroom Instruction |
| We offer a set of core classes that have been planned, tested, and proven to be relevant to the needs of our youth. Through the cooperative efforts of SROs and educators, our program complements the school's curriculum. |

| Campus Safety |
| The safety aspect of the School Resource Officer program aims to make schools safer, thereby fostering better learning environments. An SRO works with school administrators, teachers, parents, and students to establish and maintain security procedures that emphasize safety and crime prevention. |

| Mentoring |
| SROs interact and work with students, parents, teachers, and administratos during the school day, and may participate in school-related extra-curricular activities. Informal interaction also provides a good opportunity to reinforce the lessons or answer questions that students were afraid to ask in front of a group. The program promotes youth/police interaction, trust and communication, and students often share crucial school safety information with the officer. |
