Safeguarding Schools: The Role of School Resource Officers (featuring Sgt. Jarrod Prater) (October 2023)
The Tigard Police Department has three School Resource Officers serving in the Tigard-Tualatin School District, who may also serve at private schools across the city: Officers Nick Nunn (Tigard High School), Jon Moehring (Fowler Middle School) and Brian Imus (Twality Middle School).
They are a presence in schools, build rapport with students, respond to safety concerns, participate in safety committee meetings and investigate crimes including abuse, neglect and missing persons involving minors. Because of their connections, students are more likely to share problems they are experiencing at school or home and concerns they have about peers. They provide prevention education and attend school functions.
With growing calls for social justice across the metro area, the SRO program was under evaluation by the Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD) in the fall of 2020. The district worked with students, families, Tigard Police and community stakeholders to determine how best to meet the needs of our community as it relates to SROs. After many months of listening sessions, interviews, community and student surveys, the decision was made to continue with a revised SRO program.
Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, SROs meet regularly with student affinity groups, attend school assemblies for introductions and to explain their roles, are present at staff meetings to create a new level of partnership with school district staff and are accessible to parents through scheduled meetings, such as student conferences or community engagement opportunities. They also focus on building relationships with underserved communities and participate in trauma-informed, anti-racist and implicit bias training.
