This course was written by the nation's leaders in school based policing.  This course is designed to provide the newer school based police officer / deputy with insight and skills for functioning in the educational setting.  Our staff is aware that no police academy in the country prepares an officer for the unique assignment of school based policing.  Officers attending will attend numerous mini-workshops on a variety of school based topics, including Special Education, Homeland Security for Schools, Community Oriented Policing Concepts, School Crisis Planning, SRO/Administrator relations, mentoring students, instructional techniques and more.  This course is also recommended for School Administrators, DARE Officers, School Resource Officers, School Security Professionals and School Probation Officers.
