2006-2008 2nd Vice-President We started this association for all School Resource Officer's to have an organization that could assist in having a clearing house for curriculums and programs that work. We also wanted standardized training throughout the state and to put on training sessions that would meet our ever-changing demands as SRO's. I want to continue with what we've done so far and to increase our membership. The organization was not only designed for law enforcement officers, but also educators, solicitors, DSS workers and DMH workers. We truly need to associate with these professionals within the association, in that we work with them on a day to day basis. I will also push for more contact with members of the association. One way will be more information on the web-site, as I have already started by redesigning and putting in more information. "This association is your association and I will work for you." |
