Officer Leavins and K-9 Endy

A big thank you goes out to Sheriff Pruitt from Searcy County for allowing Deputy Leavins and K-9 Endy to come to our campus today. We also want to thank our new School Resource Officer, Macy Brown, for making the arrangements.

West Side School District would to welcome and introduce you to our new School Resource Officer, Macy Brown. We've asked SRO Brown to share a little bit about his background in law enforcement. My name is Macy Brown. I have worked in law enforcement since 2007. I started my career as a Van Buren County Detention Officer. I moved to patrol in 2008 and went to the Police Academy in January of 2009. The next three years I served as as a Deputy for the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office. Following that, I transferred to the Searcy County Sheriff's Office where I was a K-9 Handler. Shortly after moving to Searcy County I was offered a job with the 20th Drug Task Force. I worked with the 20th Drug Task Force for 5 years until moving back to Van Buren County in January of 2017. I spent a year working with the Criminal Investigations Division before accepting this position in January of 2018. I am looking forward to being a part of the West Side School District Team and getting to know the students, staff and parents of our community.

Wise words from another school district … To parents and friends, because we have today off, this would be a god time to wash jackets, hats, book bags, lunch boxes, etc., and help us to fight the spread of influenza and viruses. You may want to wipe items with a Clorox-type of wipe if washing is not recommended. (You may first want to check color-fastness on an inconspicuous area.) Please, help keep all your children, other people, and teachers healthy!
