Charles Mix County Deputies Deurmier and Rolston visited the Andes Central Elementary second grade on Friday, April 19. Students had the opportunity to ask the deputies questions about what it's like to be a police officer, training requirements, duties, and the things they do within our community. They showed the students their vehicles and discussed safety tips on what to do when they see emergency lights coming. The students enjoyed this learning experience and would like to thank the deputies for taking the time to speak to them.
