A letter from NASRO's President as we kick off the fall season:

We at NASRO ask you to join us in praying for a full recovery for the SSO who was shot in the head while breaking up a fight at a high school football game over the weekend in Utica, New York. wibx950.com/utica-school-sec…

NASRO is honored to recognize Officer David Watts of the Quaker Valley School District Police as the Region 3 Exceptional Service Award winner. Watts will be honored at this year's National School Safety Conference in Indianapolis. Register here: nasro.org/conference-landing…

Illinois SROs, you've got a great training opportunity this summer! You may even recognize a familiar face, as NASRO's Executive Director Mo Canady will be a keynote presenter! You can find more information about ILSROA's conference and register here: ilsroa.com/conference-inform…

Children should have a trusted adult in their life to speak with. Unfortunately, they may not always have a trusted adult at home. This is where school officials, teachers, and school resource officers can step in to be that trusted adult.

NASRO Executive Director Mo Canady spent the first part of this week in Washington D.C., meeting with the new director of the @COPSOffice, Hugh T. Clements. Discussions included several issues around SRO Training and our new COPS-funded training, Project Unite.

Is there a difference between a school resource officer and a regular law enforcement officer? Yes! In addition to being a sworn law enforcement officer, school resource officers should be carefully selected, specifically trained, and properly equipped. #SROsAreValuable

"This is not a peer-reviewed, academic book," Dr. Sanborn said. "This is a comfortable, casual book written to parents. It explains how [SROs are] trained and what that actually looks like in day-to-day interactions." Purchase your copy here: amazon.com/Missing-Piece-Res…

Long-term research from the National Threat Assessment Center indicates what we already know -- targeted school violence CAN be stopped. Dr. Lina Alathari will provide school safety teams with the "how". Get registered now: ow.ly/TlCq50Kxfim
