HAMLET — Richmond County Schools is proud to have a Special Police Force made up of a dedicated and diverse group of sworn law enforcement officers. This team, consisting of Officers Henley Smith, Bill Williams, Tony McNair, Mike Rush, and Chief Ricardo Leak, works tirelessly to ensure the safety of our students and staff. With a combined 183 years of law enforcement experience, each officer brings a unique set of skills developed from their previous roles in law enforcement. We believe that by sharing the stories and experiences of our officers through a mini-series of biographies, we can give the community a glimpse of their wisdom, expertise, and commitment to serving our schools.
