**Akron Celebrates National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day**
AKRON, OH — February 15 marks National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, a time dedicated to recognizing the vital role School Resource Officers (SROs) play in schools and communities.
The Akron Police Department underscores the contributions of SROs, stressing their function as a bridge between youth and law enforcement. SROs are instrumental in schools by embracing a triad concept of policing—focusing on informal counseling, educational roles, and law enforcement responsibilities.
These officers play a pivotal part in fostering positive relationships with students while supporting the broader communities they serve.
The Akron Police Department joined the celebration and highlighted the value of SROs by using the hashtag #NationalSchoolResourceOfficerAppreciationDay2025 and #SROsAreValuable.
National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day is a chance for communities to spotlight the efforts and unwavering commitment of these officers in creating safe and supportive environments for youth.
