District Joins Police In Celebrating School Resource Officers

TOMS RIVER – February 15 is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, a time “to recognize the valuable work of school resource officers.” This provided the ideal opportunity for the district to team up with Toms River Police Department in celebration of its school’s Class III officers.

“We absolutely love our partnership with the Toms River Schools,” said TRPD’s Jillian Messina, who put together a video tribute to the district’s SROs.

As is evident in that video below and in the photos throughout this page, school resource officers do much more than protect a school’s students and staff; they serve as familiar faces, friends, and are always one of the most popular and trusted people within the building. Toms River Regional Schools thanks all of its hard-working school resource officers for their commitment to safety through an approach that values humanity, empathy, and friendship.
