Chuck Jenkins, Sheriff of Frederick County

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller was joined by Chuck Jenkins, Sheriff of Frederick County, to talk about how the county is preparing its newest law enforcement recruits. Jenkins explained that Frederick County is now sending new deputies to the Washington County training academy, where recruits go through intense preparation — including experiencing tasers and pepper spray firsthand so they understand the effects before ever using them in the field. The Sheriff also weighed in on Montgomery County bringing back School Resource Officers (SROs) after previously removing them from schools. Jenkins said he’s proud Frederick County has continued supporting SROs and believes they play an important role in building relationships and keeping schools safe. 🎧 Missed the conversation?
