School Security Officer

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title: School Security Officer

Department: Operations - Safety & Security

Salary Grade: Grant FLSA Status: Exempt

Site/Location: Various

Reports to: Coordinator of School Safety & Security

Date: 10/09/2026

POSITION SUMMARY

School Security Officers (SSOs), in collaboration with school administration, the Lynchburg Police Department, and other public safety partners, help ensure a safe, secure, and orderly environment for students, staff, visitors, and community members at Lynchburg City Schools elementary and alternative schools. SSOs work proactively to prevent crime, investigate violations of the law, and, where appropriate, enforce applicable laws, School Board policies, and school rules within the defined scope of their responsibilities. In addition to supporting physical security, SSOs assist with all aspects of school safety, including emergency preparedness, drill compliance, environmental and facility safety, threat prevention, and campus security during the school day and at school-sponsored events. SSOs support school administrators in maintaining safe learning environments, assist with safety training initiatives, monitor safety concerns on and around school property, and collaborate with staff and public safety agencies to promote a culture of safety and preparedness. Similar to School Resource Officers in the middle and high schools, SSOs are not responsible for student discipline, though they may be called upon to assist school administrators in ensuring that a safe and secure learning environment exists for all.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

  • Monitor school facilities, grounds, visitors, and activities to identify and address safety, security, and environmental concerns.
  • Investigate suspicious behavior, security incidents, and potential violations of law; prepare incident and after-action reports; and report findings to school administration and appropriate authorities.
  • Assist with emergency preparedness activities, including drills, evacuations, sheltering procedures, accountability measures, and crisis response. Build and maintain positive relationships with students, staff, families, and community stakeholders to promote a safe and supportive school environment.
  • Support a positive school climate by modeling effective communication, encouraging appropriate behavior, and referring students to school administrators or support personnel as needed.
  • Monitor security systems and equipment, conduct safety and security inspections, and report hazards, maintenance concerns, or equipment issues.
  • Provide safety and security support for school-sponsored activities, special events, and other functions as assigned.
  • Collaborate with school administrators, staff, law enforcement, and community partners to maintain a safe and secure learning environment.
  • Perform other duties related to school safety and security as assigned by the Coordinator of School Safety & Security.
