This article discusses the importance of trained police officers, School Resource Officers (SROs), participating in school-based crisis response efforts. These efforts, mostly preventative in nature, mitigate and de-escalate trauma for students exposed to a wide variety of challenging situations. Scenarios are presented with dialogue between students and SRO, offering insights into how SROs support students’ emotional needs. The article demonstrates how trained SROs’ service complements school-based crisis prevention and intervention efforts.

The Connecticut State Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, through its Committees on Adolescence and School Health, acknowledges that the need to respond effectively to crises involving adolescents within a school setting is confronting pediatricians and school systems with increasing frequency; although this paper will focus on the needs of adolescents, crises affect younger children as well. Concerted efforts between pediatricians and school personnel may serve as a first step in addressing this problem; this position paper is intended to stimulate both interest and action in this regard. Schools provide a constant environment that can contribute positively to adolescents' psychological development.

Recent violent events in schools in the United States have underscored the need for an examination of efforts aimed at mass education of school professionals on issues related to violence prevention and crisis intervention. A CD-ROM (“Team Up to Save Lives: What Your School Should Know About Preventing Youth Suicide”) was mass mailed to schools throughout the United States in January 1997. We conducted an initial evaluation of this intervention in the Chicago area and found that the scope of the CD's impact was relatively narrow: Only 39% of all schools with informants that were contacted actually reviewed the CD-ROM and provided feedback for the evaluation. Insufficient time, computer equipment, and training were the major obstacles to CD-ROM use and to participation in the evaluation. Among those reviewing the CD-ROM, overall perceptions regarding its utility were extremely favorable. Multiple instances in which the CD had been used to address actual crisis situations were identified.
