On July 13, 2026, Officer Katelyn Oglesby was presented the Life Saver award. During a critical health situation, Officer Oglesby provided life saving aid to an adult guest at a school function. Officer Oglesby is an incredible model of the service our Department strives to provide the students, staff, and families of Knox County Schools.

The mission of TNSRO is to provide guidance and support to Law Enforcement Officers and Educators in and around Tennessee. They strive to obtain an excellence in quality educational opportunities for each School Resource Office, other Law Enforcement Officials, and Education professionals assigned to Public Schools, through hosting an annual State Conference, so that they may better serve the youth of our communities.

Last week, April 20-24, Sgt. Mike Williams, along with first responders from around the area, had the privilege of attending the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training.

CIT trained officers undergo 40 hours of intensive training, which helps them identify mental health resources to assist people in crisis. The training connects officers with mental health professionals and other community agencies to create a team that can provide support when a challenging situation occurs. In addition, officers learn verbal de-escalation skills and experience scenario-based training on responding to crises.

Huge thanks to our allied agencies which, through our partnership, make this training happen. This is a true testament to the level of commitment to serve our communities.
