School Resource Officer

Cottage Grove HIgh School

SRO's serve as a liaison between the Police Department, the School district and the Citizens of Cottage Grove, Oregon. The SRO's first duty is that of a sworn police officer, investigating crimes and activities associated with criminal behavior. SRO's are not "campus police," but rather "police on campus" who promote a positive image through interaction with students, parents, teachers and administrators. The intent of the SRO program is to establish a positive problem-solving partnership by working very closely with school officials, students and citizens.

The primary responsibility of the SRO is to deal with all law enforcement problems that arise within the school or the school's jurisdiction. The SRO investigates crimes and makes arrests when appropriate.

The primary consideration for the SRO is to promote a safe environment in and around the school. The SRO also functions as a guest speaker as well as a teacher in the classroom, covering such issues as drug abuse, laws, and other related topics.
