Sheriff Crockett is pleased to report that Dep. James E. “Jimmy” Smith has recently been elected as the corresponding secretary and on the board of directors for the Virginia Association of School Resource Officers. Dep. Smith, SRO for Lancaster County Public Schools, was appointed on Aug. 1, 2006. “Being an SRO is better in a different way from what I expected” said Smith. “I get to work with both the students and faculty at just about all levels. I don’t mediate problems between students and teachers; that’s not what the SRO program is about. But I do counsel students who ask for help, as well as work to keep the schools safe so students can focus on learning instead of worrying about bad things happening in school.” For more information about the association, visit www.vasro.com
