School Resource Officers:

This program started in the late 1990's with an officer assigned to each high school. Our program now consists of 5 officers. One in each high school and one in each of the middle schools. 

SRO’s are instrumental in developing and implementing school safety and lockdown procedures. We work side by side with Grand Forks Public Schools to enhance the safety and security of our students. All of these activities are guided by the triad concept of school policing – Law Enforcement Officer, Informal Counselor and Instructor.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact your school resource officer using the contact information listed below.
