Promoting Positive Practices SRO Model & Training Program
Discover new guidelines, tools, resources and practices from around the country on the roles of School Resource Officers (SROs), students, educators and others in a safe and positive school environment.
The new Promoting Positive Practices (P3) model and training program is being designed specifically for School Resource Officers (SROs), their K-12 school-based partners and educators. VTV, in partnership with Virginia Tech’s Center for Applied Behavior Systems, and with cooperative agreement funding from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), U.S. Dept. of Justice, has developed an SRO model that emphasizes problem solving and youth development in a positive school climate that will result in curriculum.
The P3 model will greatly improve positive collaboration among previously non-integrated groups:
- Law enforcement agencies
- Educators
- School administrators
- Mental health stakeholders
- Other service providers
- Parents & students
The program enables individually tailored school safety and security plans that incorporate how duties of SROs intersect with all aspects of their school safety:
- Physical security
- Emergency preparedness & crisis response
- Prevention & wellness promotion
- Overall school safety & climate
- Early identification & support for students at risk of harming themselves or others
- Mental health & service provision
- Student, parent & community engagement
