The Mason County Sheriff’s Office has sworn Deputies assigned to various Mason County Schools. The School Resource Officers (SRO) are specially trained deputies focused on serving the community at the heart of the communities’ resources, its children. The three major roles of our SRO include: law enforcement officer, law enforcement-related counselor, and law enforcement-related educator.

A School Resource Officer fills many different roles within the school system.
