🎓🚔 CONGRATULATIONS, DEPUTY BAKER!
We’re proud to recognize A.P. Brewer High School SRO Deputy Joel Baker for earning the National SRO Practitioner designation through the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO)!
This designation recognizes School Resource Officers who have demonstrated a significant commitment to advanced training and professional development in school-based law enforcement.
To earn Practitioner status, an SRO must complete:
🔹 NASRO’s 40-hour Basic SRO Course
🔹 24-hour Advanced SRO or Supervisor Training
🔹 Attend a NASRO National Conference
🔹 Complete an additional 160 hours of approved training
🔹 Maintain active membership with NASRO
That represents more than 220 hours of specialized training and professional development focused on serving students, schools and communities.
NASRO describes the role of an SRO through a three-part approach: Law Enforcement Officer, Public Safety Educator and Informal Counselor/Mentor.
Deputy Baker’s achievement reflects his commitment to being prepared for each of those roles and to providing the students and staff at A.P. Brewer High School with the highest level of service possible.
Congratulations, Deputy Joel Baker, on this well-earned achievement! 👏🐾
