On November 1st, 2023, The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the hiring of a second School Resource Officer, Deputy Adam Noe.

Deputy Noe comes to us with 22 years of experience which started at Eastern Kentucky University Police Department, than a move to Bellevue Police Department and a final transfer to Fort Thomas Police Department where he served a progressive 11 and a 1/2 years as a Patrolman, Detective, Sergeant and retiring as a Lieutenant.

Deputy Noe will be serving the two parochial high schools in Campbell County, Newport Central Catholic, where he is an alumni (Class of ’97) and Bishop Brossart High School.

Noe stated, “I’m excited to be part of the NCC and Bishop Brossart families. I hope to be able to provide a safe atmosphere for the students and faculty, but also provide peace of mind for the parents when their children are here! I know many of the families who have children at both schools, not to mention several of the faculty members.” He continued, “Knowing these families, I have either coached their children at some point, known them since they were born or they are friends of us and our kids.”

Sheriff Mike Jansen stated, “The Sheriff’s Office feels that we really have struck gold with Deputy Noe and Deputy Darryl Jouett, who has been serving as SRO at Southgate Independent School since the start of the school year. Both men fit into their new roles extremely well, and the families and community can rest assured we will do all that is in our power to continue to keep children safe in this partnership with the schools”

A special Thank You to the Northern Kentucky Regional SWAT Team for providing our SRO Darryl Jouett with Mr. Chris Carpenter (Retired Lieutenant Fort Thomas PD) of Livingstone Security Systems. Chris has twenty years experience in law enforcement with 18 of those years assigned to the SWAT team where he served as a team leader.  He has trained school staff, police patrol officers, SWAT operators, narcotics agents, Ark Encounter & Creation Museum public safety, private businesses, as well as agents / officers in an array of foreign countries.
Today he spent several hours with the faculty and staff preparing them for what we hope and pray will never happen, an attack on the school. Having a readiness mindset and going through drills is paramount in protecting our children.

Deputy Darryl Jouett, (kick-named by the kids as “D.J.”) has become a part of the Southgate Public School family with ease over the first two weeks of school. Students have decorated his door with welcome drawings and he has made starting the new School Resource Program look like a simple task. This week he has begun visiting the individual grades to better explain his role to the kids and to take questions. We couldn’t be prouder of Deputy Jouett and his commitment to the program.

We are so proud to introduce Deputy Darryl Jouett, Campbell County Sheriff’s Office’s first School Resource Officer.

Deputy Jouett was a long time Erlanger police officer. He served many roles with Erlanger, including that of a D.A.R.E. Officer before he retired.

The Sheriff’s Office was contracted by Southgate Public School in order to fulfill the Kentucky Legislature’s mandate that all schools in Kentucky must have a full time School Resource Officer.

She was so nervous to let go of Dad’s hand, but she was willing to take SRO Jouett’s hand and let him take into school for her first day.

The kids took immediate interest in this new person in uniform and welcomed him warmly.
