A new program in Jackson County will put part-time deputies in all of the district’s schools. The Shield Program will begin in August as a mutual aid agreement between the sheriff’s office, the Jackson County Board of Education and the county commission as a way to help prevent gun-related school violence, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. As part of the program, part-time deputies will patrol the hallways and school grounds. The sheriff’s office said every deputy and law enforcement administrator will participate in the program.
