School Resource Deputy | Flagler County Public Schools

School Resource

The School Resource Officer program was developed and implemented in 1950 in Flint, Michigan, with the intentions of improving the rapport between the youth and police officers, provide a full-time police officer in the schools and provide instruction to students, faculty and staff on police-related topics. Flagler County put its first deputy sheriff in the schools in the 1970’s, with the program expanding as the county grew.

The Sheriff’s Office is committed to working closely with the Flagler County School District to provide professional service in the educational setting. In order to better assist the School Resource Deputies, we have provided a link below that allows for direct access to the SRD's. This link can be used to provide vital information about crimes that have occurred or as an intervention before a crime is committed. Remember--You can remain anonymous! Please help us to "Break the Code of Silence".

THE SRD LOG: KEEPING YOU AWARE AND INFORMED....
Our School Resource Deputies continue to be a vital part of school safety in Flagler County Schools. Currently we have one at each of our secondary schools. This program thrives because of a solid working relationship between the Flagler Schools, the City of Palm Coast and the Flagler County Sheriff’s office. An SRD is a certified and trained law enforcement officer who takes additional courses to be well prepared to work with the youth in our community. They spend part of their summers not only organizing and supervising a local leadership academy but training with other resource officers around the country. Because of these trainings they are able to bring back best practices as it relates to safety, security, mentoring, and community involvement. Their role is to provide the physical presence, the training and support to help us feel safe in our school environment. Our officers make those all important connections with students and we call on their expertise in both reactive and proactive situations. SRD’s were very active last year in providing a positive influence in our schools. Their classroom presentations focused on discussing issues that help students understand their rights, help them make better choices and also help them understand the consequences of their actions. Here are some proactive data from last school year: 6,754 incidences of: supporting bus arrival and departures, lunch time assists, assisting administration, assisting other agencies and doing those all important campus checks 245 classes taught in such topics as cybersafety, dating violence, crime and consequences, bullying, general law and gang intervention 1726 incidences of participating in community events, mentoring, parent conferences, school events and training We’re looking forward to another great year!
