Deputy Forms Special Bond With Students, Completes SRO Program

May 23, 2018

An Escambia County deputy has found a new passion as a school resource officer.

In March the Escambia County School Board approved funding for school resource officers and armed private security in all traditional schools in the county. Deputy J. Caraway has been working a day or two a week at Pine Meadow Elementary.

But according to the Escambia County School District, he enjoyed it enough to complete school resource officer training.

Mrs. Lassiter’s kindergarten class at Pine Meadow Elementary School made a special connection with him because he says he had more questions about law enforcement from this group of students than any others. So, he decided to treat them to a special lunch, pizza, and he arranged for a special visit from a K-9 officer.
