001security for students and staff. >> We're not disciplinarians. I don't enforce school rules. Um that's that's not why I'm here. >> Maddie, when's your next game? There are times where you might have to fall in line as a law enforcement counselor and you might have to talk to kids who had witnessed a domestic the night before and they don't understand what's happening. >> Deputy Saunders spends his time relationship building. He says it can be the hardest and most rewarding part of his job. >> What really stands out to me is the relationships he builds with kids. There's a young man that uh his his family is from the Pacific Islands. >> I'm a Pacific Islander. I'm born on the islands. Uh Guam. >> I just came back from a trip from Hawaii. One of their
002things is a delicacy called msubi. >> He made this. It's kind of like sushi. It's uh with sticky rice, seaweed wrap, and some spam. >> It's really good. And I was like I asked him was like, "Hey man, do you do you know what that is?" >> The name of it is msubi. And I me personally, I really love it. like that's my favorite food. I'm not going to lie. >> And I was like, I'll bring you one. I brought it in. And it's just neat to see like how that um changes their outlook. >> When he gave me that, it made me feel like like I was important to him, like I I meant something to him. >> If there was something that I would say we value so much or the greatest about
003Deputy Saunders, he's like every adult that comes in this building, he's a teacher. And while people may see that badge and that uniform and make certain assumptions, I get it. He is a deputy for Boone County Sheriff's, but he's a teacher in this building and he does as much teaching and encouraging and modeling as any adult does in this building for our kids. >> He just brings a positive police interaction for all of the kids, not just the students, but their families, too. >> I like Officer Sanders. Why >> him is nice to me and give me a radio in the key. >> One month after I was here, me and him like started talking and became friends and I've liked them ever since. >> Me like, especially me, I'm like a bad kid. Like
004a worst kid in this school. I'm not going to lie. But, uh, he he's been very nice and he's he's let me down easy cuz he knows I can be a good kid and he sees the good in everyone. >> In addition to his duties as school resource officer, Deputy Saunders serves as the SRO Division liaison on the Boone County School District monthly safety committee. >> We discuss things that come to light, you know, that could enhance the safety and security of our buildings and all of our campuses. It's ever changing because of the world we live in. I feel safe every day and I know that's because of the work he's doing, not only here, but at the district level, too. >> I think I got the safest school in the state of Kentucky
005because of Deputy Saunders. >> He's always willing to help, even if it has nothing to do with his official job description or job title, meaning he isn't opposed to stepping into a classroom and give a brief lesson based on his knowledge and experiences as a Marine. with my background in the military, uh, they might ask, "Hey, we're studying, you know, World War I, like what do you know about World War I?" And the Marine Corps was always huge on history, so I could be like, "Well, I can tell you this piece of it." I'm finishing up my ninth year here. And so, I've now had whole families come through. I've had siblings um that are now, you know, graduating college. So, it's kind of neat to see that u that development, that growth that they
006have. But yeah, the kids are definitely the best part. I think I've got the best job in the world. >> Deputy Saunders, we are so excited and we could not think of a better person to earn the break the mold award for this month.
