GREENWOOD, Ind. – The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) is receiving the Nick Derzis Safe School Leadership Award for contributions and dedication to an SRO program to Center Grove Community School Corporation Assistant Superintendent Dr. William Long.
Dr. Long worked to establish the Center Grove School Police Department in 2008. He was also instrumental in establishing the Center Grove Emergency Operations Center, a collaborative effort between multiple agencies to create a central response location to provide quicker, life-saving services to the community.
“I am humbled and honored to receive the Chief Nicholas Derzis Safe School Leadership Award from NASRO,” said Dr. Long. “School safety has been a top priority for me and to be recognized for what we have accomplished is quite the honor.”
NASRO will present the award on July 4, at its National School Safety Conference in Aurora, Colorado.
