The Sheriff’s Office assigns one sergeant and four deputies to the city’s schools. These officers, called SRO’s, cover all ten of the districts ten campuses. They reward students’ good behavior, serve as mentors, and provide essential wraparound services. They also partner with the district attorney’s office to expedite investigations involving juveniles.

Among the topics Sgt. Mieras will cover are techniques SRO’s use to head off potential problems through early intervention.
