SRO / SSE Training Academy​

​2024 SRO/SSE Training Document

The Maryland Model SRO/SSE Training Academy is a mandated curriculum exclusively for SROs and SSEs in the State of Maryland.​ 

2024 SRO/SSE Training - Registration Currently Open

​MCSS staff, along with state and local subject matter experts, are once again in the classroom providing training to the dedicated individuals serving as SROs and SSEs throughout the State. ​In 2021, MCSS began the work of updating our model SRO and SSE training. The goal of the updates was to expand the program with new and much-needed modules in order to provide deeper training. Working closely with our local and state subject matter experts (SMEs), MCSS expanded training modules on De-escalation, Disability and Diversity Awareness, Implicit Bias, and Restorative Approaches.

Additionally, we added several new models to the training program, including:

• Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)

• Crisis Intervention

• Current Student and School Safety Trends

• Dangers of Devices
  

• Normative Adolescent Behaviors

• Understanding Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities

• Safe Schools Maryland

The additions and changes will be built into a professional development class t​hat will be made available to previously trained SROs and SSEs.
