👮‍♂️🏫 Meet the Newport Police Department’s School Resource Officers

The 2026–2027 school year is officially underway! Although we may be a little late with our introduction, we believe better late than never—especially when it comes to recognizing the officers who play such an important role in our schools. 😊

Our School Resource Officers (SROs) are dedicated to building positive relationships with students, staff, and families while helping promote a safe, supportive, and welcoming school environment. Their role goes beyond school safety; they serve as mentors, resources, and trusted members of the school community.

We are proud to have these officers representing the Newport Police Department in our schools and look forward to another successful school year.

Please join us in welcoming and getting to know our Newport Police SROs! 👮‍♀️📚
