In response to recent events, Howard County police officers are being asked to conduct at least one foot patrol a day at a school (K-12 private and public schools) in their assigned area. Not every school will receive a visit every day, but NES will be visited regularly. HCPSS is encouraging officers to try to coordinate their checks at pick up and dismissal time, if possible, and we have invited officers to have lunch in our cafeteria. Thank you joining us in welcoming our colleagues in blue!
