School Resource Officer

Beyond the providing regular law enforcement duties the School Resource Officers in Beaver County Public Schools are helping students see beyond the handcuffs and blue lights they associate with police officers. The officers serve as liaisons between the Sheriff’s Office and the school in which they serve. Their responsibility doesn’t stop there as they also educate and advise in their role as resource officer.

It is a goal of our School Resource Officers to make sure that the students feel protected and also that students learn there are consequences for their actions. We truly want the students and the communty to feel secure in their schools.

The Beaver County Sheriff’s Office established a School Resource Officer in April 2007. Deputy Mike Berg is currently serving in that assignment.

Deputy Berg has been trained to the level of a National School Recourse Officer through NASRO and just recently finished the G.R.E.A.T. instructor training and is one of a handful of certified trainers in Utah. Deputy Berg’s goals are geared towards the safety of our children.

Through prevention, life skills and officer presence, the "School Cop" is gradually making a difference in the goal of crime reduction in Beaver County and its schools. Without the joint support of the Sheriff and school administrators this program would not be a functioning reality.


The Different Hats of the School Resource Officer
Law Enforcement Officer School Resource Officers conduct criminal investigations and make arrests utilizing the same criteria as a patrol officer. The SRO works with school administrators, parents and the juvenile justice system to hold offenders accountable for their actions while not clogging the justice system with cases that could be resolved within the school by alternative means. Back to the top Educator School Resource Officers provide presentations on law-related topics. The emphasis of these presentations is on educating students about the law and their roles in society as law-abiding citizens. SROs are also available to speak on law enforcement to students and parents and to provide ongoing training to administrators and faculty. Back to the top Counselor School Resource Officers counsel students on a variety of issues, including anger control, personal conflicts, drug and alcohol concerns, physical abuse and neglect and other matters that are in some way connected with the law. SROs work closely with school principals, counselors, social workers and psychologists to provide appropriate levels of information and student support. Back to the top
