As the 2020-2021 school year opens, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office is ready to have deputies serve as School Resource Officers, SRO.
“We are going to work with both schools, Clinton Central and Clinton Prairie, to find the best way for our officers to be in those schools,” said Clinton County Sheriff Rich Kelly. “We will follow all PPE requirements from gloves, masks, and sanitizer and it is something important for us to continue to do.”
Sheriff Kelly stated the officers are planning to be there.
“So our officers are planning on it and we’re going to move forward with the school year and we will be there.”
The other county schools, Community Schools of Frankfort and Rossville, utilize other personnel for SRO. CSF has a City of Frankfort police officer in each of its buildings while Rossville has its own school district police department.
