School Resource Officer
A School Resource Officer (SRO) is a dedicated law enforcement officer focused on ensuring a safe and secure learning environment. SROs take on multiple roles as educators, counselors, and positive role models. They enforce school laws, prevent crime, teach safety practices, and develop emergency preparedness plans. Their mission is to foster strong partnerships among the school, law enforcement, and the community, building trust and helping students make informed decisions.
The Berlin Area School District is fortunate to have SRO Zach Plath from the Berlin Police Department on-site full-time. He actively monitors students and staff at Berlin High School, Berlin Middle School, and Clay Lamberton Elementary. His main office is located at Berlin High School, where he is available from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
