Our School Safety Team is led by Deputy Robert Harlan, of the Osceola County Sheriff's Department. Deputy Harlan has served Osceola for over 15 years, and has served as a School Resource Officer for 8 years. Deputy Harlan also serves in the capacity of sniper on the Osceola County Sheriff's Office Emergency Response Team. We are happy to have Deputy Harlan as a part of our NeoCity family.
