Police Department - Patrol Services Bureau
School Resource Officers Unit
The School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit was re-introduced to the Des Moines Public Schools in February, 1998. A sergeant and six officers are assigned to the five high schools and Central Campus. The goal of this program is to create and maintain a safe, secure, and orderly learning environment for students, teachers, and staff. The officers represent a proactive strategy designed to deal with early intervention and crime prevention in the schools. This program is one of the best examples of community-oriented policing that exists today.
