FCS Highlights School Resource Officers During America’s Safe Schools Week

Alexus Larson

October 18, 2026

In recognition of America’s Safe Schools Week, Franklin County Schools (FCS) is celebrating the dedication and positive impact of its School Resource Officer (SRO) team. Serving as a crucial bridge between law enforcement and the FCS community, these officers work to keep schools safe so students can learn and grow.

The district’s SRO program has decades of professional experience, with the team holding a combined total of over 300 years in law enforcement. The team is made up of law enforcement officers who have held previous titles including Chiefs of Police, Jailers, Crimes Against Children Detectives, and high-ranking officials.

"Our community has invested a great deal of time and money in our careers and training," said Captain Jeff Abrams, SRO Division Commander. "Serving as an SRO is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us. Our children are our community’s most valuable and vulnerable asset, and we take immense pride in creating an environment where future leaders can thrive."

At the start of the 2022–2023 school year, FCS successfully placed full-time officers in every school. SROs maintain oversight of physical security across all facilities, including monitoring exterior doors, supporting staff in keeping classroom doors locked during instructional times, and actively monitoring security cameras. In addition to investigating any potential offenses on school property, they serve as the primary liaison with local first-responding agencies and provide dedicated law enforcement services for extracurricular activities, sporting events, and public-facing engagements.

The primary mission of the SRO team is visibility, presence, and relationship-building. Officers serve as mentors, teachers, coaches, counselors, and positive role models, working to foster lasting trust with the community.

"Many years ago, law enforcement had limited access through formal programs like D.A.R.E. to interact with kids and encourage positive behaviors," said Captain Abrams. "Now, we have that opportunity all day, every day within Franklin County Schools, and I have personally seen the positive impact. If you attend a school event, watch the SRO because they are consistently surrounded by students coming by for a fist bump, a hug, or a quick laugh. I am incredibly proud of the genuine relationships our team has built."
