In response to violence in schools across the United States the Town of Middleborough has an increased police school presence. The Town of Middleborough added a second School Resource Officer to schools in 2019 to protect and serve the 3,500 students and staff in Middleborough schools on a daily basis.
The two School Resource Officers (SRO) are assigned to the school district to assist in maintaining security of the schools, challenging any threat to the students and staff, and assist in outreach and interaction with the staff and students.
