School Resource Officer

About the School Resource Officer (SRO)

The School Resource Officer (SRO) Program was established in 2002 as a component of the Claremont School community Policing Partnership. Since its inception, the SRO Program has evolved into a successful valuable partnership between the Claremont Unified School District and the Claremont Police Department. The program includes the assignment of a SRO at the secondary schools in Claremont.

The SRO Program is designed to allow the assignment of a full-time Claremont Police Officer to CUSD, specifically at the secondary level. The SRO is the liaison between the Police Department and the School District. However, the SRO’s first duty is that of a sworn police officer.

The SRO works diligently to promote a positive police image on campus through interactions with students, parents, teachers and administrators. The goal of the program is to establish a proactive problem-solving partnership, by working closely with school officials and faculty in enhancing the safety of our schools.
