The School Resource Officer (SRO) Program is a comprehensive research-based
strategy to help deter and prevent school violence. The School Resource
Officers are uniformed police officers assigned to five area high
schools and seven middle schools within the City of Knoxville to
work in partnership with the school personnel and students on a
daily basis to provide a safe learning environment.
Youth Program
School Resource Officers also participate in the department's Youth
Program. The mission of the Knoxville Police Department Youth Program
is to improve the schools and neighborhoods of Knoxville through
police-youth partnerships.
Youth Councils
The Youth Councils are established in each of the City's five high
schools and seven middle schools. The Youth Council is open to all
students who wish to participate, however, students are strongly
encouraged to maintain a passing grade point average, clean discipline
record and excellent school attendance.
Youth Academy
The Youth Academy is a weeklong, overnight summer camp offered to
Knox County school students. D.A.R.E. Officers and School Resource
Officers serve as camp counselors.
