STAFFORD -- Three Stafford County elementary schools will have armed protection officers beginning the fall.
The Stafford Board of Supervisors voted to fund a low-cost pilot program that will place three new part-time sworn sheriff’s deputies and their full-time supervisor, a deputy sergeant, at the county’s sheriff’s office, will work as part of a $481,000 program during the 2018-19 school year.
Salary and training costs are included in the cost estimate provided by Sheriff David Decatur to the Board of Supervisors. Though the employees will work part-time hours, the sheriff said he wanted to extend healthcare benefits, but not benefits enjoyed by his full-time staff under the Virginia Retirement System.
