NASRO promotes a three-part approach to school-based policing. Under that model, a school resource officer serves as a law enforcement officer, an educator and a mentor to students.

The organization’s training also covers emergency planning, threat assessment, de-escalation, behavioral health and relationships between officers and students. NASRO works to ensure school resource officers receive preparation designed specifically for the school environment.

Kelley’s appointment recognizes his work in school safety while giving the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office a voice in the organization’s national leadership.
