Sheriff Chris Francis and the North Carolina Justice Academy announce that Cpl. Jamor Logan of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office recently completed the School Resource Officer Certificate Program at the N.C. Justice Academy. Cpl. Logan is the 330th participant to receive the certificate since the program's inception in 2002.

The School Resource Officer Certificate Program is designed to recognize the achievement of law enforcement professionals who have dedicated themselves to making the schools safer for children and the staff that serve them. Officers, upon completion of the program, will have mastered several important aspects of School Resource Officer training and related topics, thus achieving a high level of professionalism for themselves as well as their agency.

The School Resource Officer Certificate Program requires the participants to be sworn law enforcement officers of a law enforcement agency within the State of N.C. and be assigned as a School Resource Officer. The certificate program requires 400 hours of training with the focus on School Resource Officers. The core requirements for the program consist of the basic School Resource Officer training in addition to advanced legal training and School Resource Officer ethics. All other hours needed to complete the program are electives offered through the North Carolina Justice Academy.

Cpl. Logan is the School Resource Officer at Lake Lure Classical Academy.
