By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER - In the 2018-2019 school year, there will be 15 new Class III special officers, bringing the tally up to one armed police officer in every school. Currently, there are four officers who patrol the schools, Police Chief Mitch Little said. Ten of the new ones will allow the department to have one officer in each of the town’s 14 public schools. There will also be one officer stationed at the campus where Donovan Catholic and St. Joseph Grade School are located. The four remaining hires will be substitutes. School officers are there for security, but they have another role, Little explained. They are there to get to know the students, and become a source that kids can look up to and trust, so that children can come to them if they have a problem. The school officers will wear the same uniforms as those on patrol because the department wants students to equate the two. These Class III officers are certified police officers who have completed additional training, he said. By law, Class III officers can only be used in schools. (Armed - See Page 7)
