The Central Saanich Police Service assigns one Youth Resource Officer (YRO), who is dedicated to improving school safety by building a positive police presence in schools. The YRO proactively establishes relationships and connections with youths - pursuing crime prevention through education. The YRO works collaboratively with the school community and is a point of contact for students, staff, and families.

To enhance the relationship between the police, youths, and the school community, the Youth Resource Officer is responsible for: 

• Creating a better understanding of  the police officer’s role in the community
• Giving students a basic understanding of law and order, including their responsibilities to the law and knowledge about how the law protects them
• Creating a better understanding of the youth’s responsibility to their community
• Offering presentations on crime and safety issues which are relevant to youths
• Monitoring and taking appropriate action in relation to crime in the school community
