Walker County school and police leaders are considering a volunteer-based patrol system for county schools.
Walker County leaders say they hope these additional patrols will add another layer of protection for students in the classroom.
The Foundation announced they are starting the “Stop Now Patrols” in different communities all across the country.
In their release the non profit says the effort is a part of an aggressive nationwide volunteer effort to prevent violence from disrupting school campuses and endangering student lives.
The release also mentioned that foundation leaders are in discussion with both Walker County Sheriff Nick Smith and superintendent Dennis Willingham about potentially starting patrols on and near school grounds.
Dr. Willingham provided an update the potential safety feature.
“This would be a very organized effort spearheaded by the SRO in that school community and through that organization everyone would know their place and know their role and it would just enhance what we are doing for safety for our children and our schools,” said Dr. Willingham.
The Superintendent says the talks are still in the preliminary stages but it is important to be proactive, and not reactive when it comes to safety on school grounds.
