Trigg County Schools will soon have a third school resource officer following action by Cadiz City Council Tuesday night.
During Tuesday’s Cadiz City Council meeting Chief Wiggins laid out the need for a third school resource officer following a Tuesday meeting with Trigg County School officials in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.
Wiggins says the city police department will share the cost with the school district.
Chief Wiggins says the school resource officers will also receive new body armor that will provide the officers better protection.
Following the request, Cadiz City Council voted unanimously to hire a third school resource officer. The new officer will join current school resource officers Jack Lingenfelter and Sean Young.
