As the first day of school approaches, Sheriff Duane Lewis recently met with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officers who will be serving our schools during the 2026-2027 school year.
This year, we're excited to welcome several new faces to the SRO Division. Throughout the summer, these deputies have been training and preparing to ensure they're ready to protect, mentor, and support our students, faculty, and staff from day one.
During the meeting, Sheriff Lewis discussed key safety initiatives with the team, including:
✅ School safety and security plans
✅ Improving school traffic flow
✅ Active shooter response tactics
✅ Increasing situational awareness
✅ Building strong relationships with students and staff
When that first bell rings next week, our deputies will be ready.
Sheriff Lewis believes every child deserves to feel safe and secure while learning. That's why our School Resource Officers are committed to creating a safe environment where students can focus on what matters most... their education.
When your children walk through those school doors, they become our children too. We will do everything in our power to protect them and ensure they return home safely each day.
We wish all Berkeley County students, teachers, administrators, and school staff a safe, successful, and wonderful 2026-2027 school year! 💙🍎
