Beth Callahan Editor

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP WARRE COUNTY, OH -- The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) announced that it will present a 2026 Model SRO Agency Award to the Hamilton Township Police Department. The award recognizes law enforcement agencies for exemplifying – in training, policies and standards – the NASRO triad concept (which describes a school resource officer’s (SRO’s) role as an informal counselor, public safety educator and law enforcement officer) and for demonstrating creative and innovative approaches to school-based policing.

The department is one of 11 law enforcement agencies from across the nation that will receive the 2026 Model SRO Agency Award. NASRO will present the awards on Monday, June 29, during a ceremony as part of its annual National School Safety Conference in Reno, Nevada. During the ceremony, NASRO will also present several other awards, including its Floyd Ledbetter National School Resource Officer of the Year Award.
