Talking school safety

Submitted Photo
Sheriff Scott Anslum, school resource officers from the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement officials from police departments throughout St. Mary Parish, and Superintendent Lenny Armoto and his staff met recently to review security measures and available resources that are in place in an effort to ensure the safety of our students. Throughout the summer the sheriff’s office and other agencies have conducted active shooter drills in selected schools throughout the parish to help prepare not only law enforcement officers but also teachers and administrators to respond in emergency situations. In a related matter, Anslum was selected recently to serve on the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association Executive Board representing District 3. “It is an honor to have the opportunity to represent District 3, which is home to a group of amazing sheriffs," Anslum said. "I appreciate the confidence these sheriffs and the association has entrusted in me."
