Congratulations to the 2026 Baltimore County Public Schools’ School Resource Officers of the Year!
We were excited to recognize the outstanding SROs who have gone above and beyond to support the safety and well-being of BCPS students and staff. In partnership with the Baltimore County Police Department, these dedicated officers play a vital role in creating a secure and welcoming school environment.
- Elementary School SRO of the Year: Officer Joaquin Prudent
- Middle School SRO of the Year: Officer Aundre Smith
- High School SRO of the Year: Officer Hector Pomales
As the official credit union for BCPS, First Financial is proud to take part in the annual surprise ceremonies honoring these exceptional officers. This year, our Community Engagement Manager John, alongside our Relationship Manager Joan, had the pleasure of presenting each honoree with a special gift basket to celebrate their achievements.
A Strong Partnership for Safer Schools
The SRO program is a key part of BCPS’s Safe Schools Initiative. These officers do more than ensure safety, they build meaningful relationships with students, serve as mentors, and foster a positive school culture.
Thank you to the Officers for all that you do! We’re grateful for the continued partnership between BCPS and the Baltimore County Police Department, and for the officers who make a positive impact every day.
