It took effort from the entire Sullivan County Commission, but it appears to have paid off as the Sullivan County School System now has a School Resource officer at every county school. In September County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a resolution to fund 14 additional SRO’s. Sullivan County will pay half the cost while the sheriff’s department will incure nearly a million dollar payment to fund the officers the first year, with recurring costs of almost 750 thousand dollars each year. The new SRO’s will also be implementing a new anti drug program called LEAD, which stands for Law Enforcement Against Drugs this coming fall for all middle schools and fifth graders.
