School Resource Officers
SLCUSD partners with the Morro Bay Police Department, the San Luis Obispo Police Department and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Department.
School Resource Officers (SROs) are stationed at both comprehensive high schools and are on call to assist all of our school sites. The primary goal of having an SRO on campus is to develop positive relationships with students and assist them with any issues they may have either at school or at home. They regularly review our safety plans and are prepared to assist in any emergency related event.
