School Resource Officers

DeKalb County's School Resource Officer grant ended on August 31, 2003.
Unfortunately, we were unable to financially keep all eleven of our
officers.  Special thanks to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department and
the DeKalb County Board of Education for assigning Sergeant Bartley,
Deputy Richards, Deputy Tarrant and Deputy Josh York to remain on duty for
all DeKalb County Schools.
