Douglas County event speakers combined school-safety messaging with personal memorial remarks for a student identified as Kendrick in connection with a May 7 STEM school attack.

Speaker 6 told the audience there are "43 SROs covering every school in the county," calling SROs vital to keeping children safe. Speaker 3 and others spoke about school visits and the rapport between officers and students, with informal exchanges underscoring that relationship.

Later in the program Speaker 3 delivered emotional remarks about the May 7 incident, saying "there is no accident that on May 7, when evil entered the STEM school" and describing hopes that a memorial will allow the community to "turn tragedy into triumph." Family reflections and gratitude for the student's sacrifice were offered during those remarks.

The comments combined operational claims about SRO coverage with personal testimony and memorial goals. The transcript records the SRO count and the memorial remarks as speaker statements; no formal policy change or vote on school safety measures was recorded at the event.
