School Resource Officer

Deputy Kenneth Harmon, School Resources Officer of Barton High School

The Sheriff’s Office strongly believes in the School Resources Officer program. Our office provides a well equipped and marked patrol vehicle to the SRO. This permits our office to have instant communications with our dispatch center and other officers in the event of an emergency and provides a safe way to separate and transport anyone in need of being detained or arrested. The mere presence of a marked patrol car is a strong deterrent to many who would otherwise consider making bad choices.
