National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), it was found that the implementation of

In another study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that school policies
and procedures related to safety and security can help to create a positive school climate, reduce the

al., 2010). The study recommends that schools develop and implement comprehensive school safety
plans that include clear policies and procedures related to school security, emergency response, and
crisis management.
A study conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that the
implementation of school safety and security ordinances can also have a positive impact on students'
mental health and well-being (APA, 2015). The study recommends that schools develop and implement
policies and programs that focus on promoting positive mental health and well-being, such as providing
access to mental health services, promoting positive school climate, and fostering positive relationships
Finally, a study conducted by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) found that school resource
officers (SROs) can play an important role in promoting school safety and security (NIJ, 2015). The
study recommends that schools work closely with law enforcement agencies to develop and implement
effective SRO programs that are focused on building positive relationships between students and law
enforcement, promoting positive school climate, and preventing and responding to incidents of violence.
