SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
 The Blaine County Sheriff's School Resource Officer Program is a cooperative effort with the Blaine County School District to prevent drug abuse in the lives of our most precious resource. our youth. The emphasis of this educational program is to recognize and resist pressures that may influence young people to experiment with drugs, gangs, or violence. The program provides a deputy to 6 county schools: Hemingway Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Bellevue Elementary, the Middle School, the Carey School and Wood River High School. The School Resource Officer is responsible for teaching targeted drug education and invaluable personal safety information on four major topics to Blaine County students:

The SRO Deputy is instrumental in dealing with all criminal activity occurring on school property and as a counselor for students.
