The School Resource Officer (SRO) program is a partnership between the Los Alamitos Unified School District and the Los Alamitos Police Department. It places a trained law enforcement officer on the Los Alamitos High School campus. The program promotes safety, prevention, and education through positive and effective problem solving by students, school staff, parents, community/business organizations, and law enforcement personnel.

The SRO is a trained full-time police officer who has been selected to work pro-actively with students, staff, parents and the community. S/he will provide services as a teacher, counselor, youth advisory and law enforcement officer. The SRO's presence on campus will contribute to the education process by providing a safe, secure and positive learning environment.
