Abstract	With the intention of increasing school safety, across the country, law enforcement officers have been deployed to work on school grounds. After the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado, the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) developed a new program called COPS in Schools (CIS) that was a mechanism for funding grants to schools to hire specially trained community officers. Since CIS was launched in 1999, more than 6,500 officers were hired as part of the program (U.S. Department of Justice, 2013). Commonly known as school resource officers, or SROs, these law enforcement professionals have become a fixture in many high schools in large urban school districts. However when the author, a school psychologist, conducted informal interviews with SROs, one issue quickly became apparent--the culture of school psychology is in conflict with the culture of school policing. The most common themes were: (1) lack of role awareness; (2) conflicting timing; (3) different data points; and (4) different expectations in crisis situations. In this article, she examines these themes and how school psychologists can support SROs in the school setting. (ERIC).
