The County Commission Safety Committee and the Sheriff's Office both want 10 new School Resource Officers in place for the coming year in Washington Co, TN. The Washington County Tennessee School Board backed the nearly $1 million proposal at a Thursday night called meeting. School System Director, Ron Dykes says the “times” dictate the expense. Dykes says that the annual cost to sustain the 10 new deputies in schools would be about $450,000 once the initial startup outlay for the officers is made by the Sheriff's Department. (Cs)
