A Message from Putnam County Sheriff

Dear Carmel Community, 

We would like to remind all parents, that The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is committed to keeping our schools safe. We work closely with all school districts in the county and have uniformed School Resource Officers (SRO's) at every high school and middle school. In addition, uniformed Special Patrol Officers (SPO's) are assigned throughout the districts. 

With the start of this school year, you may already have taken notice of an extra police presence at our schools. This is a deployment we do routinely, not only at the start of the school year, but throughout, to provide a safe environment for all children. This week, we have scheduled our Deputies to assist with bus arrivals and dismissals and along with school staff, will be welcoming children back to school.   Please know, this is a routine strategy we employ and that there is no cause for concern at this time. 

We will continue to keep in communication with you throughout the year, and again, we wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe school year.

Sheriff Kevin J. McConville
