The SRO strives to be proactive and not just simply reactive. The SRO frequently acts as the primary investigator for crimes occurring on the school campus and often for offenses occurring off-campus, that involve their students. The SRO is a Helena Police Officer first and is sworn to uphold the law. The SRO is not a school disciplinarian and will only take action when there is a violation of the law.
School discipline is the responsibility of the school administrator.
The SRO will take action against trespassers or unwanted guests at the request of the principal or other school officials. The SRO may also participate in extracurricular and other official school activities,when necessary.
