Welcome Message: Broward County Crime Commission School Resource Officer (SRO) Awards Breakfast – Tuesday, December 16th, 2014 The Broward County Crime Commission welcomes you to the 2014 School Resource Officer (SRO) Awards Breakfast! Annually, the Crime Commission takes great distinction in honoring and celebrating select men and women who stand out as ‘difference makers’ within the Criminal Justice System. Perhaps, more than ever before, the modern day SRO has to deal with greater ancillary duties, threats, and risks that were not prevalent 25 years ago. In January of 2014, the F.B.I. conducted a study, from 2000 to 2012, documenting a steady rise in the number of “Active Shooter Events”. The second most episodes, approximately 29 per cent, occurred in schools K-12 and institutions of higher learning. These are issues that much of society cannot even begin to fathom. Yet, everyone here today is vigilantly aware of these risks, and diligently works to protect and serve as model first responder’s. Moreover, when SRO’s are integrated into a school setting, the benefits go well beyond the acts of policing and protecting. SRO's are mentors, counselors, and relationship builders to the students with which they interact. In many ways SRO’s are an inspiration and positive role model for much of the youth on campus. Therefore, today, December 16th, 2014, the Broward County Crime Commission will recognize and praise a host of deserving individuals: a Pioneer, a Community Service Stalwart, and 23 fine men and women who will garner the prestigious title of School Resource officer of the Year for their respectable police municipality or BSO district. For this I say...."CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!!" James DePelisi, President Broward County Crime Commission
