Sheriff Carmine Marceno

In closing, I urge every member of this community to report any suspicious behavior or school-related threats, no matter the context, to local law enforcement. LCSO understands the duty to safeguard our schools, and the responsibility you entrust us with daily is not lost on me.

Though we cannot predict every scenario that may arise — as your Sheriff, I can promise you this — The safety and welfare of your children remains a top priority.

Our Youth Services Division and School Threat Enforcement Team will continue to show a heavy presence in both public and private settings; aiming to provide a secure environment in classrooms and school functions, so students, teachers, and staff can thrive.

As law enforcement officers, we carry the weight of great responsibility to protect our community, and public trust is deeply important to us.
