SRO You Should Know
The Abingdon Police Department supplies a full-time School
Resource Officer to Abingdon High School for the school year. Officer O.A. Hay has
been the designated School Resource Officer for five (5) years. After finishing
up his military duty, he started in law enforcement, and now has 29 years of
service.
When asked what he liked best about his job as a SRO.
Officer Hay responded, “I like being with the kids and helping in different
ways. Also, I provide an approachable outlet for kids to ask questions or to
talk about issues.”
The SRO program is designed to promote and foster the
ongoing partnership between law enforcement, the school system, and the
community to ensure safer schools, successful students, and productive citizens.
Thank you, Officer Hay for all you do for the community!
