Today, we congratulated and bid farewell to Court Security Officer Ed Harber. Ed has been a valued member of our team since Sheriff Jansen’s first year in office in 2015. Throughout his service, Ed played a vital role in courtroom security, prisoner transport, and was a familiar, welcoming presence at the main courthouse entrance—greeting countless individuals who passed through our doors. We sincerely thank Ed for his dedication and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Deputy Adam Noe has played a key role in shaping a strong, successful SRO presence in our schools over the past two years—serving both Bishop Brossart and Newport Central Catholic High Schools, while also supporting their feeder schools as a safety and security advisor.
With Newport Central Catholic now welcoming their own full-time SRO, Deputy Noe’s focus is shifting. For the 2025–2026 school year, he’ll serve full-time as the SRO for Bishop Brossart High School—and we’re excited to announce that the high school has partnered with St. Mary School (Alexandria) and St. Joseph School (Cold Spring), the two largest feeder schools in the area, to share Deputy Noe’s SRO duties. This means increased safety, mentorship, and support for even more students across Campbell County.
We’re incredibly proud of how our SRO program continues to grow—ensuring that more schools can have dedicated safety coverage that once seemed out of reach.

Deputy Rowland is a full-time deputy, but is assigned to the school as an SRO on each day there is school and for various special events and activities.
