FCSO Prepares Back to School Safety Trainings

08/18/2022

Sheriff Ryals and all of us at Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office are dedicated to working with Faulkner County Schools to be as prepared as possible for any event that may arise. Over the past few weeks, Faulkner County Sheriff’s Deputies have conducted training exercises at Mt. Vernon-Enola Elementary School, Mt. Vernon-Enola High School, and Wooster Elementary School. These trainings have included all certified members of the department, regardless of the division they are assigned to. The new STRIIK Team members, a high-level medically trained tactical unit formed under collaboration between Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office and Pafford Emergency Medical Services, and the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Reserve Unit, a volunteer-based unit of individuals certified as Auxiliary Law Enforcement Officers in Arkansas, also participated in the training exercises.

As Faulkner County Schools begin returning to operations for the new school year, citizens should expect to see an increased presence of law enforcement in and around the schools for safety. In addition to training exercises and presentations to school officials, there will be an increase in traffic enforcement in and around the schools. It is important that citizens remain vigilant and free of distractions while driving near our schools. This includes school pick-up and drop-off lines. The safety of the children of this county is, and will continue to be, our top priority.
