When students walk the halls at Frederick High School, Officer Andrew Fairbanks is a familiar and trusted presence. Through daily interactions, classroom engagement, and active involvement in the school community, Officer Fairbanks helps create a supportive and connected environment. That daily commitment has earned him statewide recognition as School Resource Officer (SRO) of the Year from the Colorado Association of School Resource Officers (CASRO).
This honor highlights the meaningful impact of school resource officers and the important role they play in supporting students, schools, and communities across the state. Selected by the CASRO Board Awards Committee from nominations across Colorado, the recognition reflects the depth of impact Officer Fairbanks has made in his role.
As the School Resource Officer at Frederick High School, Fairbanks’ work extends far beyond traditional law enforcement. He is a consistent presence in the halls, a mentor to students navigating challenges, and a partner to staff in building a positive school culture. That approach is rooted in connection. Through everyday interactions and intentional engagement, Officer Fairbanks helps create an environment where students feel supported and heard.
In recognition of his work, Officer Fairbanks will be honored this June at the CASRO conference in Colorado Springs, joining fellow officers from across the state.
