School Resource Officer Program

The goal of the SRO program is to protect and reduce the incidences of juvenile crime and delinquency. The SRO program is currently comprised of two officers that provide full time services to the Fayetteville High School and ALLPS.  They also provide services on a call-by-call basis to all other schools in the district.  The program brings a variety of police services directly to the school in addition to classroom presentations, mentoring and personal contacts to approximately 14,000 students on a daily basis.
