Some of Chief Brandenburg's hobbies include hunting, fishing and playing golf.
After year's of looking, John Marshall was hired as our first School resource officer in 2018. This position was a City of Beattyville police officer that service the Lee County School system when schools were in session. The City of Beattyville, Mayor Scott Jackson, The Lee County Fiscal Court, Judge Steve Mays and the Lee County Schools system forms a partnership and split the salary so that the students of Lee County were protected.
The Lee County School District looked to find ways to add an SRO at both schools. After doing research and visiting other counties in the fall and winter of 2023-24, it was decided that we needed to explore the creation of the Lee County Schools Police Department. After completing board motions, board votes, applications and communications with the Kentucky State Police, the Lee County School Police Department received their official ORI number from the F.B.I. in the summer of 2024. Next up was the creation of a LCSP patch, painting and decaling our SRO Jeep, gather equipment and supplies, stocking an office but most importantly making a job post for our School Resource Officer position.
In early August 2024, Greg Brandenburg was hired as Lee County Schools Police Chief and first School Resource Officer for the Lee County Schools Police Department. Chief Brandenburg is stationed at Lee County Elementary while Officer Marshall is at LCMHS.
Lee County Schools is lucky to have Officer Marshall and Chief Brandenburg as our School Resource Officer's. They have a combined 53 years of law enforcement experience that will be vitale in protecting our students but also forming lasting bonds and support with our students.
