Sarasota County Schools Police on Tuesday detailed their plans to expand the SRO program in schools for next school year.
The police department will serve all schools in the district except for Venice High School and Venice Elementary School, which will continue to be staffed by the Venice Police Department.
Police Chief Tim Enos said he plans to add three more sergeants, 15 more school resource officers, in addition to two lieutenants and five regional response officers, all by August.
Enos said the force will also be adding more equipment, training programs, and electronic resources.
