School Resource Officers of Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are specially trained to work in the school environment, and soon there will be seven more Sheriff’s Office SROs for the schools within unincorporated Douglas County, not within a city or town. At 39 SROs, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office SRO unit is now the largest in Colorado. During a regular Business Meeting April 9, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners approved $712,700 to share costs with schools for an additional seven School Resource Officers. The new officers will be assigned to elementary schools and high schools.
