Relationships are invaluable. You learn who belongs and shouldn't be there, and if there is a problem, you learn the layout of the school.”
Capt. Tim Dorsey,

Building relationships
Edmond has had school resource officers at the high schools and middle schools for more than 10 years.
A school resource officer, assigned to a particular school, is assigned to keep the school and students safe on a daily basis.
The officer also works with school administrators to address security problems that may occur on campus.
“We feel like that is where the large population is during the daytime and that is where we need to be,” Dorsey said. “We hope to improve safety in the schools and establish relationships.
“Relationships are invaluable. You learn who belongs and shouldn't be there, and if there is a problem, you learn the layout of the school.”
Security in the schools is important to the officers, who have come up with many of the ideas for better protection, Dorsey said.
“Most officers have kids in Edmond schools,” Dorsey said. “Safety is a priority.”
