TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind.—The Tippecanoe School Corp. (TSC) will add a new school resource officer (SRO) to monitor campuses.
Tippecanoe County officials approved to use $49,000 in grant money to pay for the SRO, according to JCOnline. Sheriff Tracy Brown told the council that if the grant funds to support the SRO are depleted – which come from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute – he would eliminate the position. The grant is renewable for up to three years.
Currently, an SRO is present in TSC high schools; however, middle schools and other areas requiring monitoring will benefit from the addition of the new officer.
