DISCUSSION:
The LPD has staffed full-time SROs in all LPS middle and high schools for over a decade. The LPD/LPS partnership is very strong and both parties believe the SRO program offers multiple positive benefits including increased security for students and staff, enhanced relationships between community youth and officers, and direct lines of communication between schools and the LPD. Officer duties and responsibilities are also modified to comply with changes in state law and district policies.
