Furthermore, the SROs are responsible for attending their respective schools’

extracurricular activities throughout the school year which include sporting events,

fundraisers, open houses, dances, and graduations.

After the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the SRO unit has been an

integral cog in the development of school safety within the Cranston Public Schools

District. They have assisted members of the SRT team in developing recommendations

to make each individual school within the district a safer environment for students.

Moreover, the administrations from both the CPD and CPS collaborated on a district

wide policy to ensure safety within the school district. As a result, the A.L.I.C.E (Alert,

Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate) program was implemented in 2013 and

presented to all faculty, staff, and students in the Cranston school district. Continuing

education of the ALICE program has been conducted every year since its inception.
