Round Rock ISD police chief Jeffrey Yarbrough joins Mike Warren to talk about its recent national recognition of its campus safety model.

RRISD police created a school policing model called the Four Pillars of School Policing, which includes school safety, racial equity, behavioral health and student advocacy.

Built into this model is a team of social workers who work alongside RRISD police officers to find non-law enforcement solutions to address student needs and promote positive outcomes properly, says RRISD.
