Every single interaction I've ever had with an SRO has been positive. Just about every single interaction I've had with a cop has been positive.
When I was in high school, we had a few fights which is typical with a lot of schools, couple drug busts, but only one hoax bomb threat where we had to evacuate in four years. The two SROs there were looked up to. They were role models, took an interest in students, were available to talk to as a counselor by extension, and they helped diffuse fights and planned fights and disagreements.
