The SRO will operate under the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing and problem solving on school campuses and surrounding neighborhoods. The SRO will, when appropriate, engage in de-escalation tactics to resolve conflict. De- escalation is the process of using strategies and techniques intended to decrease the intensity of asituation including, but not limited to verbal and non-verbal communication techniques and, when possible, using non -confrontational practices to gain control.
