YULEE, Fla. - Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper on Friday handed certificates to two men and one woman, certifying them as the county's first-ever school guardians.

The Guardian Program was approved by the Florida Legislature last year and signed into law after the school shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida one year ago in which 14 students and 3 school personnel were shot and killed and 17 more were injured.

After a thorough background investigation and psychological exam, Kyle Kane, Laurie Baughan and William Schmelling were hired by the Nassau County School District and began a four-week training program hosted by the Nassau County Sheriff's Office.

While guardians are armed with a handgun, body armor, and a flashlight, unlike Sheriff's Office school resource deputies or school safety officers, they do not have arrest powers.

The three received a combination of basic firearms instruction; CPR and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care certification; defensive tactics education; active-shooter scenario-based drills; and classroom instruction about diversity, legal issues and concealed carry laws, the training program was designed to prepare trainees to respond to active assailant incidents on school premises.
