Dade County
Sheriff Ray Cross is working with local school officials to keep Dade’s schools
safer in the wake of the recent school shooting in Connecticut.
Cross along
with Dade County School Superintendent Shawn Tobin, Emergency Services Director
Alex Case, City Police Chief Roger Castleberry, Fire Chief Jerry Kyzer and Dade
County school principals are reviewing safety procedures and discussing ways to
improve students’ safety.
Cross
implemented the first step in the new safety procedures by appointing Cpl. Kristy
Miles as School Resource Officer at Dade Middle School.
Cpl. Miles will
be stationed at DMS during the school day and will be interacting with students
to establish a good relationship between the students and law enforcement.
Lt. Barry Pless
will oversee duties at the middle school in the event that Cpl. Miles is unable
to be there.
Dade County
High School’s SRO Sgt. Tommy Bradford has dealt with issues at the middle
school in the past that has warranted police intervention.
The Sheriff’s
department and school officials hope the addition of the resource officer at
Dade Middle School provides parents and students with a better sense of safety
while at school.
