Wyoming School Resource Officers Association

What Wyoming School Resource Officers Association does

The Wyoming School Resource Officers Association (WYSROA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional association dedicated to advancing school safety across Wyoming through professional training, leadership, and partnership. WYSROA is comprised of School Resource Officers (SROs) working in schools across Wyoming and is governed by an elected five-person board whose members are themselves active SROs stationed at the Cheyenne Police Department, Big Horn County Sheriff's Office, Lander Police Department, and Fremont County Sheriff's Office. The organization's mission is to equip SROs with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to foster trust, promote student well-being, and create secure learning environments statewide. WYSROA's service territory is restricted to Wyoming, with no national or international operating footprint.

WYSROA delivers member services rather than commercial products. Core offerings include NASRO-certified training courses delivered in-person at locations such as the Cheyenne Police Department (e.g., NASRO Advanced SRO Course scheduled for August 10, 2026), coverage of de-escalation, safety planning, school law, emergency operations planning, digital media investigation, violence prevention, CPTED, Behavioral Threat Assessment, and crisis management topics, and facilitation of youth mentorship programs including Camp POSTCARD. The organization also operates a student scholarship program for Wyoming students pursuing criminal justice, law, or education degrees. There is no proprietary technology; wysroa.org is a standard website built by Blue Whale Web Design for information distribution, event registration, and member communication, and no mobile application exists.

The business model is donation- and membership-supported, with revenue streams comprising PayPal-collected donations, implicit membership contributions from Wyoming SROs, and training course fees that flow through the national NASRO portal rather than WYSROA's books directly. Go-to-market is event-driven, relying on in-person training courses, the annual NASRO National Conference, the Wyoming Department of Education School Safety Academy (approximately 65 attendees at the June 2026 symposium in Casper), the Beyond the Badge podcast, and website/social media outreach. No public pricing exists, and the customer base consists of Wyoming school districts, law enforcement agencies, and educators, with no enterprise commercial customer relationships.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• ALICE Training Institute: ALICE is a private active-assessor and school safety training provider whose curriculum intersects with WYSROA's crisis management and emergency operations training offerings.
• Raptor Technologies: Raptor provides school safety software (visitor management, emergency management, tip lines) used by districts WYSROA serves, making it an adjacent ecosystem vendor rather than a peer association.
• Safe and Sound Schools: Safe and Sound Schools is a national nonprofit focused on school safety best practices, paralleling WYSROA's mission but operating as a national advocacy/resource organization rather than a member-driven officer association.

Broad incumbents

• National Sheriffs' Association: National Sheriffs' Association serves sheriffs' offices that employ many SROs in Wyoming (Big Horn, Fremont). It provides overlapping training and advocacy infrastructure for the employers of WYSROA's constituent officers.
• International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP): IACP is a broader law-enforcement leadership association that offers school safety and SRO-related resources. It addresses overlapping practitioner needs at a much wider scope than WYSROA.
• D.A.R.E. America: D.A.R.E. is the national youth drug- and violence-prevention education program that WYSROA board members (e.g., Dani Gilgen) deliver in Wyoming schools. It overlaps thematically with WYSROA on school-based prevention and youth engagement.
• National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO): NASRO is the national professional association for School Resource Officers and the parent-affiliate of WYSROA. WYSROA partners with NASRO for curriculum, certification, and conference delivery, making it the most directly comparable adjacent organization.

Direct peers

• Florida Association of School Resource Officers: Statewide professional association for Florida SROs offering training, certification support, and policy advocacy comparable to WYSROA's offerings, differentiated by state-level focus.
• Colorado Association of School Resource Officers: CASRO is the neighboring statewide SRO association whose structure (statewide membership, training delivery, advocacy) closely mirrors WYSROA's model, making it the closest peer in size, mission, and operating approach.
• Texas School Resource Officers Association: Another state-level SRO professional association providing training and advocacy for school-based officers, organized along the same model as WYSROA but at significantly larger scale.
