Community Based Programs

School Based Programs


School Resource Officers

  • Provide security for county high schools, middle and elementary schools, and to provide drug and child-abuse education programs to school children of selected grade levels

Junior Sheriff's Academy

  • The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office School-Based Programs Division hosts (three) one-week sessions of the Junior Sheriff’s Academy every summer. We are looking for male and female middle school and high school students (between the ages of 12 and 15) who may have an interest in public service (Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS).   See the school SRO for more information and an application.

C.A.R.E. and D.A.R.E.

  • Sworn deputies who teach prevention programs and techniques against drugs, alcohol, and child abuse in county and city schools
    • Child Abuse Reduction Effort (C.A.R.E.)
      • The C.A.R.E. program was founded in 1993 by the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.  C.A.R.E. stands for Child Abuse Reduction Effort. It is a 12-week program taught to all second-grade students in Randolph County and Asheboro City Schools, as well as local private schools, by specially trained Deputies. The program teaches second graders that they are all super, fantastic, and special, and most importantly, they have the right to feel safe. C.A.R.E. teaches them to recognize child abuse and what to do if anyone makes them feel unsafe. The program also teaches children that they have the right to say "NO," and that they should TELL a trusted adult who they can turn to for help, and that nothing is so terrible or so scary that they can't talk to a trusted adult.

      • The C.A.R.E. program has given many abused children in our county the courage to report child abuse, both physical and sexual. Many children have disclosed their abuse to their C.A.R.E. officer; these are the cases that might not have been reported otherwise.

  • If you have any questions or comments about the C.A.R.E. program, you may contact the Randolph County Sheriff's Office at 336-318-6699.
  • Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.)
    • The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program in Randolph County, North Carolina, is taught to fifth graders in participating schools by sworn deputies with the Randolph County Sheriff's Office. The program helps students learn how to make decisions, deal with peer pressure, and manage stressful situations.

Honor Guard

In 2005, the first six Randolph County Deputies graduated from a mandated training course for Honor Guard duties and procedures. This marked the official beginning of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Honor Guard. 

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard is a specialized team of deputy volunteers employed by the Sheriff’s Office. Honor Guard assignments are typically ceremonial in nature. These assignments can include but are not limited to, funerals, graduations, community events, and parades. Members of the Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard are selected based on the candidate’s excellent decorum, professionalism, discipline and, excellent standing with the agency. 

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard was unofficially formed following the untimely, line-of-duty death of Deputy Toney Summey on the 27th day of April in the year 2003. Following Deputy Summey’s death, several deputies volunteered to assist with the ceremonial duties of honoring their fallen comrade. Following this incident, it was apparent to former Sheriff Litchard Hurley that there was a need for a professionally trained team of deputies that could conduct these ceremonial duties when needed.
