Questions remain as to whether the mayor tried to pressure a resource officer to spy on school officials
The mayor of Spring Valley is now under fire by members of law enforcement for telling the local police chief he is being suspended and for abolishing a critical school resource officer position.
As kids left Spring Valley High School after the first day of classes, parents expressed worries about safety after finding out that trusted school resource officer, Quacy Evelyn, had been removed by Mayor Alan Simon.
The police chief said Evelyn’s position at the school had been eliminated by the mayor — who was furious when approached by the News 4 I-Team.
“This is my private office. Get out,” Simon shouted on camera.
There are still civilian guards at the school, but Evelyn’s disappearance came as a shock to parents on the first day of school.
The school district shared a statement: “It is our hope that the Spring Valley mayor and the Spring Valley Police Department resolve their differences quickly so that we can restore consistency to our SRO program.”
