SCIPIO, Ind. - The children at Scipio Elementary School got a special treat on Wednesday morning, October 21.

Jennings County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) Deputy and School Resource Officer (SRO) Tyler Campbell arranged for a Blackhawk Helicopter to land for a really cool presentation for the students.

SRO Campbell serves not only Jennings County, but also the Country, as a 1st Lieutenant in the Army National Guard. The Sheriff's Department said it was lucky to have Campbell on its team.

JCSO thanked the pilots, crew members, school administrators, and Deputy Campbell for making it happen.
