Officer Zachary Ney brings the discipline and experience of the United States Marine Corps to his role as a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Tri-Valley School District. As an SRO, he is dedicated to providing a safe and secure learning environment while serving as a mentor, educator, and resource for students, staff, and the school community.

SROs are certified law enforcement officers assigned to schools to ensure safety, prevent crime, and build positive relationships. Officer Ney’s role goes beyond enforcement—he supports students in crisis, provides guidance, teaches law-related topics, and collaborates with staff to develop school safety plans. By acting as a liaison between the school and local police, he helps foster community connections that enhance trust and understanding.

Officer Ney loves being an SRO because he gets to see students be the best they can be, and he thrives on the positive energy that students bring to campus. He enjoys seeing all the smiles and making school a welcoming, supportive place for everyone.
