Chelsea man starts organization to pay law enforcement in local schools

A Chelsea man recently started an organization that aims to have trained law enforcement officers in Shelby County schools by August. Mike Echols, a father of two children who attend Shelby County schools, founded the Committee for Safer Schools in mid-March. The organization will provide financial support to local law enforcement agencies to place a sheriff’s deputy in every school to protect students against “individuals whose aim is to commit violent acts within our schools,” according to the organization’s website.

Safety and Security

The EPHOA has developed the Realtime Security Alert System (RSAS) to quickly communicate potential safety and security-related issues to the residents of Eagle Point. The RSAS enables users to receive SMS text messages or emails related to street names in Eagle Point subdivision, as such notices are published on the website of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Log (http://shelbyso.com/ or http://dispatchlog.shelbyal.com). The RSAS continuously monitors the ShelbySO Dispatch Log for activity involving street names in Eagle Point subdivision, and automatically sends Alerts via SMS text message to the EPHOA Safety & Security Monitors. The Monitors will immediately assess the content of the Alert and use judgment and established priority guidelines to determine whether to broadcast the Alert to the entire Network. Eagle Point residents may log in at the homepage (http://www.ephoa.org/) and click on the link at the top labeled "ALERTS RSAS" to review terms of use and subscribe to the RSAS.
