Master Deputy Dean Comer retired from his post as a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Albert Harris Elementary School. Comer has been with the Martinsville Sheriff’s Office for 25 years and has been a beloved figure at Albert Harris Elementary for the past 5 years.
Of his many years serving our community as a law enforcement officer, the 5 that he’s spent at AHES have been the most enjoyable and fulfilling, he said, adding that he has enjoyed spending time with students, mentoring them and helping to ensure they are heading in the right direction.
T.J. Slaughter, director of School Safety and Emergency Management, commended Comer for his service to the district.
“I can always reach out to Dean for anything that needs to get done,” Slaughter said. “He has been an integral part of our school safety upgrades over the years, and he will be greatly missed.”
Comer said he is looking forward to spending time with his family during his retirement, as well as fishing, and kayaking.
