A division of the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office is in association with the Fannin County School System, the School Resource Officer program, otherwise known by it’s acronym SRO. Currently under the supervision of Lt. Darvin Couch the School Resource Officer program began in 1997.
Along with traditional law enforcement duties, which includes the arrest powers, School Resource Officers provide the Fannin County School System with campus safety and security, classroom presentations, criminal investigations, parent and teacher conferences, as well as other activities such as C.H.A.M.P.S. (Choosing Healthy Activities and Promoting Safety).
