Basically, they’re a police officer that hangs out at a school all day.

school resource officer is a law enforcment officer. Badge and uniform - the whole bit. Assigned directly to the school.

the earlier post about the resource officer possibly being an abuser is out of line. A friend of mine goes to his church. I’ve met him a few times at school functions, there’s no reason for anyone to make that acusation.

A ‘school resource officer’ is a security person, usually with police training and police powers.

He could be a policeman who works for the city, and whose assigned beat is the school, or he could be a policeman who works directly for the school district.

Of course, no school can admit that it needs a police officer in the building full-time, so the term ‘school resource officer’ was dreamed up.

Makes him sound less like a cop, and more like some sort of librarian.
