The Rocky Mount Police Department highlighted on Mar. 13 the important work of its School Resource Officers, emphasizing their daily efforts to keep campuses safe and foster positive relationships with students, teachers, and staff.
The presence of School Resource Officers is seen as significant for both safety and community engagement within Rocky Mount schools. These officers not only provide security but also serve as mentors and trusted adults for many young people in the area.
A recent video features Officer Farmer and Officer Lawrence, both natives of Rocky Mount, who discuss what inspired them to become School Resource Officers. They describe their day-to-day experiences supporting students throughout the community. The department said that these officers are serving in the same community that helped shape them.
According to the police department, “Their presence goes beyond safety. They serve as mentors, role models, and trusted adults for many young people in Rocky Mount.”
