Cuero, Texas — Cuero ISD joined with communities across the nation in recognizing National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day January 9th, by honoring the School Resource Officers (SROs) who work daily to keep students, staff, and campuses safe.
School officials emphasized that SROs play a vital role far beyond traditional law enforcement duties. In addition to maintaining campus security, officers serve as mentors, educators, and trusted adults for students navigating both academic and personal challenges.
“Our School Resource Officers are an essential part of our school community,” community leaders said. “Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to building positive relationships with students, staff, and families do not go unnoticed. We are grateful for their presence and their unwavering support of our schools.”
SROs for Cuero ISD assist with safety planning, emergency preparedness, conflict resolution, and campus outreach. Many also participate in student programs, attend extracurricular events, and work closely with administrators to foster a secure and welcoming environment.
As districts continue to prioritize school safety, officials say the partnership with local law enforcement remains a cornerstone of that effort.
This National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Cuero ISD extended its sincere thanks to the School Resource Officers who serve with integrity and compassion each day.
