Crime Prevention Programs
School Safety
As society's problems have grown and become more complicated, so have the problems in our schools. Our county has one
of the earliest known programs in the State of North Carolina, dating back to 1974.
School Resource Officers are members of the Forsyth County Office of the Sheriff and are commissioned Officers. The
original program in 1974 began with only three officers and their main purpose was to provide security in two high
schools and one middle school.
The program has grown to include roving night time Security Officers
and School Crossing Guards. Additionally, the program serves as a resource to teachers in areas of law related education
(LRE). LRE teaches the students why there are laws and how the laws can help them.
In addition to providing security, teaching, and counseling, the School Resource Officers are involved in many
other activities and programs.
