2022 Jaimie Cox Memorial Scholarship

Congratulations to the 2022 Jamie Cox Scholarship recipients, Sofia Pina and Autumn Clark! Both of these young ladies are destined for big things. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!


Officer Jaimie Cox (HCHS Alumnus) was killed in the line of duty on November 5, 2017.  Jaimie was a kind, hardworking individual who selflessly dedicated his life to serving others. 


The JCMS was established to honor his memory by awarding a $1,000.00 scholarship to two HCHS seniors, interested in pursuing a career in emergency services that hold a similar work ethic as Jaimie; committed to the service of others.


The Jaimie Cox Memorial Scholarship was established by the Rockton Police Association (R.P.A.) and Caitlin Cox & Family.

VEHICLE THEFT AND BURGLARY PREVENTION

Although a professional car thief can defeat most security measures and quickly break into and steal a locked vehicle, most vehicle break-ins and thefts are carried out by amateurs who take advantage of the carelessness of drivers in leaving vehicles unlocked, valuables in sight, etc.
