Loudoun County, VA (March 8, 2024) – The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) announced completion of the first high school drug scan this morning by an LCSO canine team and School Resource Officer (SRO) in collaboration with the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS). The scan of Broad Run High School in Ashburn was completed without a positive alert.   Consistent with the protocols announced by LCPS on February 26, 2024, there was no direct interaction with students, who remained in their classes on a “hold”. The scan was completed in approximately 60 minutes.

 

“Stopping juvenile overdoses and keeping fentanyl and other dangerous drugs out of our schools is a top priority,” said Sheriff Mike Chapman. “Canine scans should be a deterrent to anyone thinking of bringing these drugs to school and will add to our collective efforts to protect Loudoun’s students and their families,” he added.

 

Random scans of all LCPS high schools will be conducted this spring based on a confidential schedule agreed to by LCSO, the Leesburg Police Department, and LCPS. The LCSO is responsible for canine scans in 16 of those schools, and the LPD for scans in the three high schools in the Town of Leesburg.
