RCS BOARD TO DISCUSS SCHOOL POLICE DEPARTMENT WEDNESDAY

(Richmond, IN)--The new Richmond Community School Police Department will be a topic of discussion when the RCS Board meets late Wednesday afternoon.  In a letter that’s dated July 12 to Dr. Curtis Wright, Jamie Bolser, who is the RCS Chief Human Resources Officer, says that school-based officers will focus on the safety and security of students, staff, and visitors. In addition, RCSPD officers will build relationships with students, which can promote trust, open communication, and positive interactions. They serve as mentors, role models, and resources for students, helping to foster a safe and supportive school environment.  There is still no word on most of the details of the department’s structure.
