School resource officers; require school districts to employ for each school under its jurisdiction.

HB 1048 would require each Mississippi school district to employ at least one school resource officer (SRO) who is designated as a peace officer on all school properties. It also mandates that any person in an SRO or similar role with peace officer powers must complete a minimum level of law enforcement training within two years of starting the job, or they cannot exercise those powers. The bill includes additional provisions about radio broadcasting and interlocal agreements with law enforcement, but the core requirements focus on SRO staffing and training standards.
