School Resource Officer

Someone asked the other day if we have a school resource officer.  We do.  The county Sheriff has assigned an officer to work with all three school districts in Lincoln County.  Officer Gregory works with the Principals.  One of his duties is to consult on any acts or alleged acts of violence in the school.  Every act or alleged act of violence is referred the Mr. Gregory!  Many time people will ask, or in some cases threaten to take an issue to law enforcement.  As a matter of policy, we refer those cases already to Mr. Gregory.  This is not to say the police take action each time a referral is made.  The opposite is actually true;  most situations do not require law enforcement.  But, it is always a good idea to check and to use this valuable service.
