The Prevention Resource Officer Program (PRO)
The Harrison County Prevention Resource Officer Program (PRO) is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a comprehensive adult/student approach to prevention for students. The core of the project is the involvement of an adult as a resource/mentor to the students. By acting as a advocate, role model, PRO help students develop the awareness, self- confidence and skills they need to resist drugs and overcome overwhelming obstacles.
Sgt. Sandy Audia works co-operatively with school administrators, staff, students, parents, and the community to identify and address school concerns or problems. She will provide a learning environment through counseling, structured classroom lectures, and distribution of educational resource materials. Enforce the law, conduct investigations as the need arises, and prevent crime by being a visible law enforcement presence in the school.
