SROs to patrol problem areas of Bridgeport this summer

BRIDGEPORT — City students will see some familiar faces patrolling the streets this summer. Once the final school bell of the year rings, school resource officers will patrol problematic areas of the city. “We’re going to have them out in neighborhoods where we’ve had high incidents of crime,” said Police Capt. Roderick Porter, who oversees the department’s school resource officers and the Office of Community Services. Some of those areas will be Trumbull Gardens, Greene Homes and PT Barnum apartment complexes, lower East Main Street and Stratford Avenue, Police Chief Armando Perez said. “SROs are with them at school every day and now the kids will recognize who’s keeping an eye out for them,” Perez said.
