| Gap Analysis The City of Green Cove Springs has contracted with the Clay County District Schools to provide one School Resource Officer at the two schools within their municipality for the previous 2024-2025 school year. This initiative reinforces the City of Green Cove Springs' commitment to partnering with the school system. The aim is to provide SRO services while also strengthening the bond between the local Police Department and the families of students residing in Green Cove Springs who attend either of these two schools. | ||
