School Resource Officer Law is a course intended to benefit law enforcement officers who are tasked with enforcing criminal law within our schools. The course will provide training in enforcement activities associated with search warrants, warrantless searches, interviews, eye-witness identifications and non-testimonial identification orders for those who are subject to potential legal liability resulting from those activities. The course will provide School Resource Officers with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct enforcement activities associated with schools, consistent with state and federal law.
