school resource officer
School's assigned deputy
A school resource officer is a police officer assigned to work in a school, typically handling security, law enforcement, and sometimes mentoring students.
The role is often abbreviated SRO.
Proponents argue SROs improve safety; critics contend they criminalize student behavior and disproportionately affect minority students: The school resource officer arrested a student for a hallway fight.
