School Resource Officer Program
The Tomball Police Department, in conjunction with the
Tomball Independent School District, began utilizing D.A.R.E.
in the late 1980’s. Since that time, D.A.R.E. has been well
received. In 2005, TISD and TPD personnel assessed the needs
of today’s youth and developed a new adaptive program to
better serve and inform Tomball young people. The D.E.A.L.
program, “delivering education and awareness for life” was
implemented. Students in the program are taught life skills,
decision-making processes, coping with both peer and
personal pressure and accepting responsibility for one’s
actions.
In an effort to provide Tomball Independent School District
(T.I.S.D.) students with a safe and secure learning
environment, T.I.S.D. and the Tomball Police Department,
implemented the School Resource Officer (S.R.O.) program.
The role of the S.R.O. is multi-faceted. SRO’s enforce
federal, state and local laws on T.I.S.D. property as well
as builds lifelong supportive relationships with the
students. The S.R.O. acts as a liaison between T.I.S.D. and
Tomball Police Department and ensures an open line of
communication between the entities, students, and parents.
The S.R.O. provides parents with the opportunity to be
involved and active in issues concerning the safety and
welfare of their children. Annually, hundreds of students
are instructed in tobacco awareness and personal choice
safety in regards to current trends practiced by young
people. In addition to instructing students, the S.R.O.
provides numerous hours of instruction to school district
faculty and administration.
With our dynamic society, the SRO has become a stabilizing
factor in the educational and personal lives of the
students, staff and faculty of the Tomball Independent
School District.
