School Resource Officer Program

OPD Resource Officer

The School Resource Officer Program provides full-time, on-site police services to all of the Orange County Public middle and high schools within City limits. Our SuperKids program has specially trained officers providing curriculum to elementary school students.

The officers working in high schools and middle schools have created and implemented a progressive and innovative program called Responsibility Matters. Responsibility Matters focuses on personal responsibility, recognizing a bad situation and making the right choices. It begins with students understanding that responsibility to their family, school and community starts with themselves.

The goal of the program is to instill in students they must take personal ownership of their choices and those made now will determine their future.

Safety Tips

Stay Together
Children should travel in groups of two or more.

Know Your Info
Children should know their full name, address, home and parents’ work and cell phone numbers.

Be Aware
Children should be able to identify if a situation is dangerous.

Map It Out
Children should have a clearly defined route home from school and should be able to identify landmarks and safe places that they can go for help.

Use Your Voice
Children should say, “NO” when they feel uncomfortable or scared. Children should be taught to yell or scream when they are in danger.

Check In
Children should call their parents to let them know when they are on their way home or if their plan has changed.
