The School Resource Officers (SRO's) have worked within the city for 10 years. SRO's were initially funded bt a U.S. Department of Justice Cops-in Schools grant which ended April 2009. Absent federal monies, SFPD continues its commitment to the youth of San Francisco by currently assigning 19 officers as SRO's.
SRO's are community police officers within specific schools who work to build trusting relationships with youth, school staff and the community to create safer schools.
Upon request to district police stations, SRO's are available to provide presentations, attend meetings and safety events.
