Major Responsibility and Activities
School Resource Deputy is a sworn position in which you are responsible for safety and crime prevention in schools. Deputies work closely with administrators in an effort to create a safer
environment for both students and staff. The responsibilities of School Resource Deputies are similar to regular Deputy Sheriff’s in that they have the ability to make arrests, respond to calls for service, and document incidents.

School Deputy work is not for every law enforcement officer. Deputies considered for the position have a strong desire to develop positive relationships with youth on a daily basis.
