The Town of Kernersville proudly works in conjunction with the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School System in the provision of School Resource Officers (SRO’s) to all public schools located within the town limits. SRO’s are certified law enforcement officers with specialized training through the North Carolina Justice Academy. All SRO’s are Critical Incidence Response Kit (CIRK) certified.
SRO’s are highly involved in the Community and serve as mentors of the annual Police Day Camp; SRO’s teach the Super Kids Program at local elementary schools; encourage student participation in the “It’s My Call/It’s Our Call” drug prevention initiative; and are involved in the T.A.G. (Town Against Graffiti) Program. SRO’s encourage students to take an active part in keeping their schools safe.
