Metcalfe County hires additional school resource officer

EDMONTON, Ky.- The Metcalfe County School District has hired a new school resource officer.

When spring break ends on April 8, Officer Charles Massey will be patrolling the halls of Metcalfe County Elementary School.

Officer Josh Neal will remain the school resource officer at Metcalfe High School and Metcalfe County Middle School.

The Metcalfe County Board of Education approved adding a school resource officer in December. The certified officers will have jurisdiction on school grounds and at some school events held off campus.

Both Officer Neal and Officer Massey were former deputies at the Metcalfe County Sheriff’s Department.
