School Liaison Unit

The School Liaison Unit was established in its current form in 1998. The Unit consists of five officers and one supervisor. The officers assigned to the School Liaison Unit act as a resource to the Fayette County Public and private schools to assist in the prevention of juvenile delinquency.

The officers in the School Liaison Unit are assigned to specific areas based on the Fayette County Public Schools Division of Law Enforcement five area districts.
