Voices from Bremen City Schools’ staff and parents spoke, and the Board of Education delivered. As part of the budget for the school
year 2024, the five-member veteran board approved the hire of two additional School Resource Officers (SRO). The move was collaborative with the Bremen Police Department and the Bremen City Schools. The SROs began planning for the school year when teachers returned on Tuesday, July 25th.
Bremen City Schools welcomed two additional SROs to their staff this week. Sergeant Chad Henderson joined the team at Jones Elementary School. At the same time, Officer Angela Moore took her new post on the Bremen Academy and Bremen Middle School campus. Officer Casey Vann returns to Bremen High School and assumes the role of Lead SRO for the school district.
“Our priority as a Board of Education is the safety of our students, staff, and community. We are pleased to be able to increase the presence and support on each of our school campuses with the two additional resource officers. We are
appreciative of the partnership that we have with Chief Pesnell and his staff.” -Mr. Vann Pelt, Chairman of the Board of Education, Bremen City Schools.
“The Bremen City Police Department is proud to have the opportunity to serve alongside the Bremen City Schools to help keep our children safe. We are looking forward to a great school year.” -Chief Keith Pesnell, Chief of Police, Bremen City Police Department.
“We are fortunate to have Chief Pesnell and the Bremen Police Department in our corner. They are tremendous supporters of the Bremen City Schools. I am thrilled that we now have an SRO on every campus. My father has spent a lifetime dedicated to law enforcement, so I keenly understand the commitment made by law enforcement to protect and serve. School resource officers are unique and special to me because they also teach and build relationships with students in our schools.” -Mr. Shannon Christian, Superintendent.
