Kansas Juvenile
Officers Association

Welcome!

The Kansas Juvenile Officers Association (KSJOA) is an organization committed to Kansas kids. KSJOA was established in 2009 by the merging of Kansas D.A.R.E. Officers Association (KDOA), and the Kansas School Resource Officers Association (KASRO).

The KSJOA exists to promote harmony and good will among members of the association; to promote continuity of materials and teaching techniques; to reinforce and maintain discipline of the D.A.R.E. curriculum; and to develop a means to disseminate information which is valuable to all members statewide.
