ABOUT US
Who we are
After feedback from School Resource Officers throughout the state, The New York State Sheriffs' Association identified a need to provide contemporary, up to date training for New York State school safety personnel. Out of this need, a committee was formed to develop training, and provide a networking hub for all school policing and safety issues. Thus, the Committee on Policing and Safeguarding Schools (C-PASS) was born.
​
This committee is well equipped to tackle all aspects of school policing as it is made up of command staff, supervisors, and school resource officers currently working in NYS schools.
What we do
The Committee on Policing and Safeguarding Schools (C-PASS) understands that protecting students is an ever changing task and one of the upmost importance. The committee constantly strives to identify new issues and develop training to meet those needs faced not only by school resources officers but all those involved in the school community.
Since the committee is not bound by a single state agency, or under any state mandate, C-PASS can be flexible and swift in tackling new school issues. We have been successful thus far in all of our endeavors by understanding the importance of collaboration, because in the end we are always BETTER TOGETHER.
