2026 Pennsylvania School Safety Conference

The 2026 Pennsylvania School Safety Conference is organized by the Pennsylvania Association of School Resource Officers (PASRO), a charitable organization dedicated to the safety and security of all students in the Commonwealth. The conference aims to provide best practices for keeping children and communities engaged and safe. It brings together school resource officers, law enforcement personnel, school security and safety professionals, school board members, and school administrators. Typical conference topics include strategies for engaging with students, preventing child abductions and combating child sexual exploitation, addressing antisemitism, preventing targeted violence, understanding drug trends (e.g., THC, synthetic cannabinoids), and combating human trafficking. PASRO emphasizes fostering partnerships between schools, students, parents, and school-based policing to create safer communities and a safer Pennsylvania, enhancing training skills and improving overall safety within school environments.
