School Resource Unit
The School Resource Program (SRO) was introduced during the 1990-91 school year and consists of 6 police officers.
The officers are assigned to the 2 public high schools, 3 public middle schools, and 1 alternative learning center in Waterloo. Their responsibilities extend to all the other schools, both public and parochial.
An SRO's function is preventative in nature, as SROs are NOT security guards. SROs are visible, active law enforcement figures who deal with any law enforcement-related issues in the schools.
