Lincoln County MS. Aug 24, 2022
For the first time in its history, the Lincoln County School District has its own police force.
On Monday, Superintendent David Martin swore in five school resource officers who will work to protect and serve the students and staff at the schools.
The new officers are Lance Lewis, West Lincoln; John W. Leggett, Bogue Chitto; Ian Smith, West Lincoln; Casey Miller, Enterprise; and Eric Malone, Loyd Star.
“It’s an actual police department, same as any other department,” Martin said as he introduced the officers. “They’ve been at work already since school started and have been doing a great job.”
Malone added that he and the other officers “are going to do the best job that we can do. We are going to protect the staff, protect the students — that’s our major responsibility and we’ll do it to the best of our ability.”
