St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office Increase Patrol Checks at Schools.

For a number of years, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office has provided School Resource Officers at the three public high schools and in 2019 officers were added to the four public middle schools in St. Mary’s County.

In addition, the Sheriff’s Office’s Adopt-a-School program provides for deputies to “adopt” a particular elementary school to patrol and partner with.

In addition to those ongoing partnerships with St. Mary’s County Public Schools, effective immediately, more Sheriff’s Office deputies will be further checking on public elementary schools and private schools through the Safe to Learn initiative.

These additional deputies will be uniformed, checking in with school staff, checking the perimeters of school properties, ensuring that exterior doors to schools are secured and reporting anything unusual to school administrators.'>>>
