Corbin Police Officer James G. Pace and Knox County Sheriff\u2019s deputies Michael D. Broughton and Patrick L. Clouse along with their classmates completed 120 hours of state mandated training over a three-year timeframe (SRO I, SRO II and SRO III), making them fully certified to work in Kentucky\u2019s school systems. \u201cEnsuring the safety and well-being of Kentucky\u2019s schools is a top priority of my administration,\u201d said Gov. Andy Beshear. \u201cI commend you on taking on this responsibility. Thank you for all you do for your agency, school systems and the commonwealth.\u201d DOCJT\u2019s SRO training targets the specific needs of officers who are assigned to provide safety and security to the students and staff located inside a school. The SRO courses were revamped after the School Safety and Resilience Act passed in 2019. The three levels of training are now offered to active, certified law enforcement serving as school resource officers. All SROs must complete the SRO I in-service course within one year of their start date. SRO II and SRO III training courses are required to be completed the following two years as the annual in-service training. SRO training includes topics, such as working with special-needs students, mental health awareness and trauma-informed action. Firearms and tactics refresher training are also included."}
