Casey Flatt joins host George Halford to reflect on his decades of service to Putnam County—as a police deputy, the county’s first School Resource Officer, and former Director of Juvenile Detention. Inspired by both his parents—his father in law enforcement and his mother in education—Casey began as an auxiliary officer before going full-time, thanks to encouragement from current Baxter Mayor Danny Holmes. After graduating from the Donaldson Police Academy in 1997, he became Putnam County’s first SRO, serving at Cookeville High School in the wake of the Columbine tragedy. Casey shares powerful insights into the juvenile justice system, the importance of having local detention resources, and stories of youth who turned their lives around—highlighting the real-life impact of second chances and early intervention.
