Mobile County Commissioners approved Monday a change to an agreement with the county school system that makes only three APOST-certified law enforcement officers available to patrol the schools.

The changes approved by the commissioners state that the Mobile County Sheriff’s Department does not have 12 law enforcement officers certified through the Alabama Peace Officer Standards and Training “to devote to the board.” Only three are available to be assigned to schools chosen by the School Board.
Rena Philips, spokeswoman with the Mobile County School System, said the three deputies are already working. She said that “for security reasons,” the school system cannot “specify exact assignments, but they are in our schools.” Mobile County schools has long held off on adding armed law enforcement officers, despite a growing number of public school systems throughout the state adding them to their systems.
