Committed to keeping Georgia schools safe.
ABOUT US
In 2019, the Habersham County Sheriff's Office initiated a dialog with the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC), the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council (GA P.O.S.T.), the Georgia Department of Education (GDOE), and the Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to form an alliance. The alliance would incorporate and merge all of the separate efforts being made to improve school safety into one collective body known as the Georgia Alliance of School Resource Officers and Educators or GASROE.
OUR MISSION
The Georgia Alliance of School Resource Officers and Educators is an official 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization with the mission to provide basic, intermediate and advanced collaboration training programs for school resource officers, administrators, teachers, school safety coordinators/directors, emergency management directors/personnel, nurses, bus drivers, custodial staff, counselors and other school support personnel. Additionally, GASROE will provide instruction and training that addresses current issues and new trends and provide participants with the latest tools available to address them.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
