CCSO's very own School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit received the Alabama Association of School Resource Officers statewide unit award!
This award is given each year at the annual TAASRO summer conference to the SRO unit that has exemplified dedication, integrity, and passion in their call to service. Not only does this award reflect positively on Cherokee County, it highlights all SROs around the country and the significant role they play in the lives of our educators and students.
Sheriff Jeff Shaver stated, "I could not be more proud of the amazing men and women we have working here at the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. When we founded our first ever SRO unit in 2019, through a cooperative between the Sheriff's Office, Board of Education and County Commission, we envisioned a setting where education could be the number one priority in a safe environment."
The SRO Unit is supervised by Lt. Jordan Kelley, who is joined by Deputies Floyd Brooks, Kasey West, Brandon Harris, John Sentell, Jamie Parris, Tracy Nelson, and Dalton Cosby.
