Supervisors with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office Youth Services Division presented commemorative plaques to three School Resource Officers in recognition of their military service during a Veterans Day observance.
Deputy SRO Ashley Mays, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps; Deputy SRO Jamey Robertson, a veteran of the United States Air Force; and Deputy SRO Mikerra Evans, a veteran of the Army National Guard, were recognized for their service in the United States Armed Forces and their continued commitment to public service.
Following their military service, the deputies continued serving their communities through careers in law enforcement.
As School Resource Officers, they help protect students, promote school safety, mentor young people and build positive relationships throughout Natchitoches Parish.

“We are extremely proud of these all of our veterans for their service to our country and their continued dedication to the citizens of Natchitoches Parish. Their commitment to protecting others, both in military uniform and as law enforcement officers, reflects the highest standards of honor, courage, and public service,” Wright said.
The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office also expressed gratitude to all veterans, past and present, for their service, sacrifices and dedication to defending the nation.
