Fun Facts

The Clinton Police Department has seven School Resource Officers dedicated to helping protect students and staff in our local schools!
But their job goes far beyond school safety. Our SROs build relationships with students, serve as mentors, and help create a positive connection between young people and law enforcement.

For many students, their School Resource Officer is the first police officer they get to know personally! Building relationships today helps build a safer Clinton tomorrow!
