STLA Mandated Training: Maryland Model School Resource Officer (SRO) / School Security Employee (SSE) Training Academy
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 that will be made available to previously trained SROs and SSEs.
