Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood has posted a video announcement about upcoming changes for protecting Madison County Schools this fall.
Harwood said that all school resource officers will be equipped with Ar-15 Rifles and will have tactical training.
The money to purchase the equipment and provide the training was donated by community members from Madison County. The sheriff said Madison County Commissioners have pledged to purchase secure gun safes that would be installed in undisclosed locations at each school. Harwood also said the School Superintendent Dr Will Hoffman and the Board of Education was in agreement with this safety measure.
