It is the sense of Congress that— a school resource officer program provides a safe learning environment in our Nation’s schools, provides valuable resources to school staff members, and fosters positive relationships between youth and law enforcement; school resource officers are educators, informal counselors and mentors, and law enforcement officers; local agencies need the resources and flexibility to establish school resource officer programs that will encourage partnerships between schools and local law enforcement agencies to develop innovative ways to make schools safe; and Federal grants for school resource officer salaries are intended to be a starting point for continued local action and should not divert current designated funding.
