School Safety and Security

PSD is committed to an inclusive and safe climate for all students.

With Campus Security Officers serving as the eyes and ears of the district and School Resource Officers (certified police officers) based at all middle and comprehensive high schools, safety for students and staffs is a top priority. 

The PSD Security Department promotes an inclusive and safe climate through proactive and innovative services, relationships, and communication. PSD continually updates crisis plans and implements prevention programs to ensure safe learning environments in all schools. 

PSD Campus Security Officers (CSOs) and School Resource Officers (SROs) help keep students safe.

Campus Security Officers

CSOs are staff members of the PSD Security Department. They work at school sites as the eyes and ears of the district. Duties include security; vehicle, bike, and foot patrol; special event coverage; and crisis response and assistance. 

School Resource Officers

SROs are certified police officers based at PSD middle and high schools. SROs help maintain the schools' safe learning environment, improve school/law enforcement collaboration, and promote positive relations between students, staff, and law enforcement officials.
