Six Orangeburg County schools will continue to have school resource officers for the current school year, thanks to a South Carolina Department of Public Safety grant.
For parents sending their children to school, safety is important. For students, seeing familiar, approachable figures in the hallways means the world. For the Orangeburg County School District, ensuring both these elements come alive daily is where school resource officers come into play. These officers serve a majority of schools. Sgt. Kendrick McCullum and Deputy Quentin Williams of the Orangeburg County Sheriff s Office are representative of the dedication of SROs.
