Please spread the word on both of these free trainings.

Tall Cop is back again….He’s the most sought after national presenter on the topic of drugs in the schools. We’ve had him present to us in person and virtually several times. You all he’s fantastic! So here he is coming to you on your computer on November 12th from 9-11 a.m. Eastern time.

Back by popular demand (again on your computer)… the SRO round table November 19th, 10-11:30 a.m. Eastern time. This is a time to learn more about what SROs are experiencing in all four corners of our state while providing you with an opportunity to ask questions and get immediate answers.

Zoom links and further information are below.

Thanks to everyone for keeping kids and staff safe!

Regarded as one of America’s top experts in various drug and alcohol trends, he has specialized in underage drinking and drug enforcement for more than 15 years. Since 2009, Officer Galloway has won four national and international awards for his work.

SRO Panel Discussion

When: November 19, 2024 from 10:00 – 11:30 EST

This is a repeat session from October.

Are you a new school-based law enforcement officer transitioning into the role of SRO? Join us on October 8th at 10:00 EST via Zoom for an open discussion with experienced SROs. Panelists will discuss best practices, legal issues, roles and responsibilities, and school safety. This two-hour panel discussion is intended for newly assigned SROs who still need the required SRO training or seasoned SROs looking for ways to support and enhance their programs. This session will also allow SROs to interact with the panelists, all veteran School Resource Officers, and other participants.
