There will be a temporary change to the Student Resource Officer (SRO) position at Knox Schools, according to Police Chief Harold Smith.
Board of Works members were informed last week that the current Knox SRO, Patrol Officer Travis Schieber, is active in the Army Reserves and has been for over a decade.
Chief Smith noted that Schieber is required to train one weekend a month in addition to about three consecutive weeks of training each year.
Smith explained, “He is to report to Fort Dix New Jersey for three weeks of training up to August 22nd. Well, school starts August 6th so myself or Officer [Chris] Kisela will fill in as SRO for the school until he returns.”
He added that school officials have been notified and provided approval for the temporary arrangement.
