Sheriff’s deputies stepping up school zone patrols

The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department will be out in force tomorrow morning in school zones to ensure school safety, as well as looking for those who are speeding or not paying attention to school bus stop arms.

Sheriff Matt Myers says that his office is increasing daily patrols at schools as a proactive measure to ensure the safety of Bartholomew County students.

Myers urges parents to talk with your children and let them know if they see or hear anything suspicious, they should report it immediately to school officials or law enforcement. He says any suspicious activity will be thoroughly investigated.

Bartholomew Consolidated and Flat Rock-Hawcreek schools are both back in session tomorrow.
