About Our Platform
A Community For SRO's To Share Resources & Connect
Our platform is dedicated to supporting School Resource Officers (SROs) by creating a space for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and meaningful connections. Designed with the unique needs of SROs in mind, the platform provides two core components: resources and community. In the Resources section, members have access to a comprehensive library of materials tailored to the role, including educational presentations, training guides, videos, templates, and other valuable tools. These resources are curated to help SROs stay informed, enhance their skills, and tackle challenges effectively.
The Community section is where connections come alive. It serves as an interactive forum for SROs to engage with one another, share experiences, and exchange advice. Members can participate in discussions, upload and share media such as PDFs, videos, and images, and even post blogs or comments to spark meaningful conversations. Direct messaging further fosters collaboration, enabling SROs to build relationships and network in a secure and supportive environment. Whether you’re an experienced SRO or just starting out, this platform is your go-to destination for growth, learning, and connection. Together, we empower each other to make a lasting impact.
Our Mission Statement
The Committee on Policing And Safeguarding our Schools (C-PASS) is dedicated to fostering a safer, more secure learning environment through prevention, collaboration, and education. By uniting law enforcement, educators, and communities, we aim to enhance school safety by providing comprehensive training, sharing best practices, and building strong partnerships. Our mission is to be a leading resource and model organization for school-police collaboration across New York State, empowering school communities and School Resource Officers with the tools, knowledge, and leadership necessary to safeguard students, staff, and the broader community.
C-PASS Organization
Who We Are
After feedback from School Resource Officers throughout the state, The New York State Sheriffs’ Association identified a need to provide contemporary, up to date training for New York State school safety personnel. Out of this need, a committee was formed to develop training, and provide a networking hub for all school policing and safety issues. Thus, the Committee on Policing and Safeguarding Schools (C-PASS) was born.
This committee is well equipped to tackle all aspects of school policing as it is made up of command staff, supervisors, and school resource officers currently working in NYS schools.
What We Do
The Committee on Policing and Safeguarding Schools (C-PASS) understands that protecting students is an ever changing task and one of the upmost importance. The committee constantly strives to identify new issues and develop training to meet those needs faced not only by school resources officers but all those involved in the school community.
Since the committee is not bound by a single state agency, or under any state mandate, C-PASS can be flexible and swift in tackling new school issues. We have been successful thus far in all of our endeavors by understanding the importance of collaboration, because in the end we are always BETTER TOGETHER.
