The School Resource Unit has twenty two Deputy Sheriffs in Coweta public schools. Ten of these Deputies are assigned as full-time school resource officers at the six middle schools and two high schools in the county, and 12 are assigned to the county’s elementary schools teaching a drug awareness program called “Project SAFE.” 

School Resource

• At the middle and high school-level, Deputy Sheriffs are in place as a resource for students, parents, and teachers. The Deputies are on campus to provide a safe and secure environment for the students to attend school, but are also available to assist in answering questions about Georgia laws, school policies, and to teach informational classes for students.
• In the 2007-2008 school year, the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office added additional school resource officers in the high schools, staffing Northgate High School and East Coweta High School with two SROs each.  In 2013, two additional SAFE officers were placed in the elementary schools.

Project SAFE

• Project SAFE, the elementary level school resource program, is multi-faceted. Not only do the Deputy Sheriffs assigned to this program teach twelve-week classes to fifth graders in twenty-one elementary schools, they also teach programs for the lower level elementary school aged students as well. They are public relations officers, putting in many hours of extra time at county functions such as speaking to parent groups, churches, businesses, and schools about such topics as drug awareness, internet safety, child passenger safety, and neighborhood watch. You will often see these Deputies out in the community handing out badges, fingerprint kits, and various Sheriff's Office trinkets to children.
  
• If you would like a Neighborhood Watch Program started in your neighborhood, an internet safety talk for parents only, any other program we offer above, or have questions about the School Resource Unit please contact Major Mark Fenninger.
