School Resource Officers (SRO)

The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office works in cooperation with the Lincoln Parish School Board and has assigned a School Resource Officer (SRO) to each public school in Lincoln Parish. The primary responsibility of the SRO is to assist in providing a safe learning environment for the students and staff by actively patrolling the campus, responding to emergency situations, and acting as the first line of defense against any type of disruption of the educational process or violent act to students or school personnel. Most importantly, our SROs are committed to being mentors and role models to the students through their day-to-day interactions.
