MORENCI – The Greenlee County Sheriff’s Office is excited to announce that we have selected a school resource Officer for the Morenci School District. This deputy has gone to extensive training on how to be an effective school resource Officer. With the combined support from the Morenci School District and a grant from the United Way fund. I want to introduce Deputy Jason Monjaras as our school resource Officer.
Great things can come from a school resource officer, such as quick response times and protecting our students within schools and at school activities. Education and teaching students in the law enforcement field. Being a mentor for students, instilling good morals and ideas, and building positive relationships with students. They collaborate with the principals, teachers, and staff to build emergency management plans.
The Greenlee County Sheriff’s Office is also working with the Duncan School District in securing funding for a School Resource Officer for Duncan in the near future.
Providing a safe and secure learning environment for our youth and schools has been a priority for the Greenlee County Sheriff’s Office.
