School Resource Officer Unit

The School Resource Officer Unit (SRO)/program currently has twelve (12) certified police officers that serve as School Resource Officers (SROs) for the Chandler, Kyrene, and Mesa Public School Districts. These officers are assigned to our High Schools, Junior High Schools, and Middle Schools for the entire school year. Below are the school assignments for each of our SROs along with their contact information for the school year 2023-2024.

Seven (7) of the SRO positions are grant-funded through the Arizona Department of Education School Safety Program. These grant funds are applied for and administered by the school districts. Four (4) positions are in the Chandler Unified School District, two (2) in Kyrene School District, and one (1) in Mesa Public Schools.

Our SROs are trained by the Arizona Department of Education in a partnership with Law for Kids, which is the State of Arizona’s School Safety Program that allows each SRO to instruct Law-Related Education (LRE) classes. All Chandler SROs are members of the Arizona School Resource Officers Association (ASROA) and the National School Resource Officers Association (NASRO), both of which provide training and networking among other SROs from across the state and nation.

** The Chandler Police Department’s School Resource Officer (SRO) program has been recognized as a “Model School Resource Officer Agency” by the National Association of School Resource Officers. **
