The Washington County Commissioners approved renewing an agreement on Monday to provide a sheriff's deputy as a school resource officer for Copan Public Schools.

 

 Washington County Sheriff Scott Owen says this is similar to what has occurred previously.

 

Sheriff Owen says the agreement may change during or after the school year, as he has heard Copan Schools is looking to hire their own campus police unit.

 

The commissioners also approved a contract for law enforcement services at the Delaware Tribe of Indians Tribal Headquarters in for various functions, such as security during Tribal Council meetings and events held at the headquarters in northeast Bartlesville. Additionally, a contract was agreed upon for juvenile detention services and transporting juveniles between those facilities and court hearings back in Washington County.
