School Board approves creating RCS Police Department

RICHMOND, Indiana (June 14, 2023) – At tonight’s school board meeting, the RCS School Board of Trustees approved a resolution to establish a school police department.

The RCS Board of School Trustees have concluded that it is time for the school corporation to explore new avenues for the provision of these essential safety needs of the district. We certainly want to express the collective gratitude of RCS, its patrons, staff, students, and board members, both present and past, for the service that our Wayne County Sheriff's Department has provided in the management of the SRO program. Their courage and commitment have been more than appreciated. Formal processes are underway to ensure and sustain the high quality of safety and security that has always been exercised within Richmond Community Schools upon our return this fall. Again, we would like to thank the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department and all first responders that have and will continue to partner with us to keep our faculty, staff, students, and stakeholders safe.
