Coats considers advertising School Resource Officer after SRO position becomes vacant
Summary
Town Manager Barbara Hollerand told the board the SRO position will be vacant at the end of the school year; Mayor Chris Coats recommended advertising the role rather than relying solely on the county to replace it.
Town Manager Barbara Hollerand informed commissioners that the School Resource Officer (SRO) position would be vacant at the end of the school year and asked whether the board preferred to have a Coats Police Officer assigned or to defer replacement to the county. Mayor Chris Coats said he was concerned the county might not have a deputy at the school at all times and suggested the town advertise the position now.
The board did not take a formal vote but Mayor Coats' comment framed the consensus toward pursuing a local posting to ensure coverage; the matter will be included in personnel and budget discussions for the coming fiscal year.
