Sheriff Larry Ashley today announced that the Okaloosa County School Resource Officer Unit has earned top honors as “Agency of the Year” from FASRO, The Florida Association of SROs. “Our mission is to protect and serve and I can think of no more critical public safety goals than protecting our most precious resource and working to help them become good citizens,” said Sheriff Ashley. “Our Unit excels on every front – from safety and security to mentoring and leadership development. Our emphasis on training, professional development, and organizational efficiency is second to none and I am incredibly proud of this statewide recognition of our program as a role model for all of Florida. I also want to credit the support we get from parents, teachers, and school district administrators. In addition, Sgt. Gary Venuti, Florida School Resource Officer of the Year in 2012, helped set the high standards for the success of our SRO Unit”.
