 | This guide is meant to help law enforcement representatives facilitate discussions and training sessions in conjunction with screenings of the 17-minute Not In Our Town film Beyond the Badge: Profile of a School Resource Officer. Produced in collaboration with the COPS Office, the film profiles Ronald Cockrell, a St. Louis County, MO, school resource officer, as he works to bridge the gap between students and police officers six months after the police shooting and protests that left North St. Louis County reeling. The story focuses on Cockrell's efforts to build relationships, listen to students address their fear of police in a school town hall, mentor young people on how to deal with conflicts, and work with his colleagues to support a student whose father is murdered. The guide provides discussion questions for use in internal agency trainings as well as a list of supplemental resources. Used together, the film and guide can help agencies to better understand the role and purpose of school resource officers.By Not In Our Town (NIOT)Categories: School and Campus SafetyLanguage: EnglishPublic link
