An area county will now have full-time police protection in its schools.
A 31-thousand dollar grant has been awarded by the Quapaw tribe to fund a full time school resource officer in ottawa county. Deputy Lloyd Guilford has been assigned to serve the seven schools in the county.
He says he hopes the position will have a positive influence on the students.
"Well I hope that the new school resource officer will have enought time to share with the kids, get a better coorporation with the children and build a rapport where law enforcement wont be quite as a new thing to them and a bad figure. I`d like to make a new role model to the children,"said Deputy Lloyd Guilford, School Resource Center.
Deputy Guilford also serves as the DARE officer for the Ottawa County Sheriff`s Department.
