While School Resource Officers have been in Metro Schools for decades, the School Safety Division was established in August 2022. The division was created to enhance the safety of students and teachers throughout the school year.
The Mission of the School Safety Division is to promote safe learning environments for education campuses across Nashville and Davidson County through the construction of empowering partnerships, meaningful deterrence, collaborative education, and effective response.

The School Safety Division is a centralized unit dedicated to its goal of protection, devoted to those they protect, and wholly committed to safeguarding all schools within Nashville Davidson County.
School Resource Officers are assigned to schools where they report to the same school daily. Within their assigned schools, School Resource Officers will cultivate enriching relationships with the students and staff, allowing them to more effectively address all calls for service and other school incidents.
School Resource Officers rapidly respond to schools to address issues and other safety concerns. Those incidents include but are not limited to: active shooters, school threats, large scale fights, safety drills, pressure tests.
