The mission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia is to be a more prevention- oriented institution that will effectively deal with the challenges of the school environment in conjunction with risk management and its mitigation. To achieve this goal, the Resource Office developed and implemented qualitatively different approaches and began a significant, systemic reform process. Both physical and psychosocial security components were strengthened. It is through the aforementioned mechanisms that the service of the law enforcement officer managed to mitigate and in cases respond to violence.
The establishment day of the educational institution's mandatory resource office is celebrated on April 15 of every year.
