County Commissioners Anxious To Expand Number Of Officers At Hamilton County Schools Wednesday, May 12, 2021
County Commission members said Tuesday they are anxious to expand the number of officers at county school campuses - even if it means using a number of security guards in addition to School Resource Officers.
They said they are concerned that a tragic incident will occur on a local campus with no officer present - either from not being assigned one or from the SRO being called away temporarily for other sheriff duties.
Randy Fairbanks said he was not faulting Sheriff Jim Hammond, but he said each year the commission is told that there are continuing difficulties with hiring enough School Resource Officers (SROs).

John Bridger, Regional Planning Agency executive director, noted that several residents and commissioners raised concerns about traffic and infrastructure. One of those was Commissioner Tim Boyd, who listed several aspects the developer (Turner Homes) needed to add to the road to make the area safe for development.
