Keeping Our Schools Safe

Orange County Sheriff’s Office and their School Resource Officer (SRO) Division work very closely with Orange County Public Schools and with private schools within the County. The purpose of the division is to ensure the safety and security of the students and the staff as well as develop a relationship between our deputies and young citizens.
