- The School Security Division: They are responsible for the in-school School Resource Officers (SROs) and handle everything from the physical safety of the kiddos to issues like gangs, bullying, and other at-risk behavior. They are focused as much on building support options as enforcement, and we’re looking forward this is a great to hear how they are partnering with CBOs in the neighborhood and also how we can help support them in that effort.
