Thousands of misguided parents are signing a petition to sway Wake County Public Schools to eliminate on-campus School Resource Officers (SRO's), and we must make our voices heard, as well. It would be an enormous mistake to rid our schools of this valuable protection!

SRO's ensure schools are safe places for students to learn. SRO's provide a highly visible presence to deter or identify trespassers on campus, thus keeping guard over the safety of our children at school. They are responsible for working in tandem with school administrators, staff and faculty to develop and enact comprehensive safety plans to abate all threats.

SRO's cultivate and maintain relationships with the students. They are role models and leaders, mentoring students with whom they interact.

SRO's have the training, knowledge and experience to handle a vast assortment of situations both inside and outside the school building. Without their valuable presence on campus, our children will be at risk. We must prevent that, and keep SRO's on our children's campuses!

Sign this petition today to save the SRO's in Wake County Public Schools!
