PPS School Safety and Security - Family Input

The PPS 'Safety Task Force' will present its findings to the school board May 4th and your input is needed! Statistics show that trained School Resource Officers from the Portland Police Bureau act as a deterrent for criminal activity and acts of violence against students and staff in schools. They can quickly respond to emergency situations. SRO’s are mentors and a navigator of support when students need to report child abuse, theft, harassment, sex/drug trafficking or other concerns, and they facilitate de-escalations along with resource referrals for families. The relationships SRO's build with youth at school help divert at-risk students from the juvenile justice system while creating a safe environment conducive to learning. 

Thank you, grassroots community, for your tireless efforts in support of school safety! #ReinstateSROs #PortlandPublicSchools #PPSSafety
