After more than a dozen school threats in Tennessee this fall, sheriffs across the state said they were discussing the best strategies to address campus safety. One mid-state school resource officer actually describes the rash of recent threats against schools to epidemic proportions.
The Tennessee Sheriff's Association issued a rare joint statement from sheriff's offices across the state. They said with the increased spike in school threats new aggressive steps will be taken to ensure the safety of all students. Coffee County Sheriff Chad Partin was quoted by Newschannel 5 as saying "These words cause a lot of fear and panic," and he said it needs to stop. The plan moving forward in every county in the state is to arrest and prosecute.
