| PAULS VALLEY -A program bringing
Pauls Valley’s schools and law enforcement together
the last two years has been such a rousing success it
will continue despite a major change. The change comes
in the form of Shannon Hamilton, who as a Pauls Valley
Police officer has served as the local school
district’s resource officer during that time.
Hamilton will continue offering his services to the
schools when the next school year begins this August.
The big difference is he will do it as a Garvin County
deputy rather than as a local police officer.
