During the Oct. 29 work session of the Great Falls Public Schools board, Sheriff Slaughter unveiled his plan to introduce a paid reserve deputy program to bolster school safety across the district. The initiative comes after state law changes enabled compensation for reserve deputies—a move Slaughter says could “be a huge force-multiplier in public safety.”
He plans to recruit experienced retired law-enforcement officers with pay ranging from $20 to $27 per hour, and begin the pilot in cooperation with the Great Falls Police Department and the school district.
