Please help us welcome Dayton's School Resource Officer, Deputy Stout!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dayton, NV
September 29,2017

Dayton welcomes a School Resource Officer (SRO) to its community for the 2017-18 school year.

What is a SRO?  The SRO is a deputy of the Lyon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) whose primary job responsibility is within the school community.  The goal of this position, which is attained through a partnership with LCSO, is to foster positive relationships with students through close contact.  Although, the SRO position is new to Dayton and Fernley schools, the position is in its second year in the Silver Springs schools and has seen a very positive impact.

Today, we zero in and would like to introduce you to Deputy Robert Stout.  Deputy Stout joins the Dayton schools - Riverview, Sutro and Dayton Elementary Schools, Dayton Intermediate School and Dayton High School - for the pilot year of the SRO in Dayton.

Deputy Stout was born in sunny southern California 🌞, moved to Nevada in October of 1997 and has been a member of the Dayton community since 2002.

He has always wanted to be in law enforcement and began his career with the Department of Corrections for three years prior to joining LCSO in 2004.

When asked about "why the SRO position" Deputy Stout explained his desire to try something new and find a way to connect with our youth in a new and positive way.

Now although we introduce you to Deputy Stout, some of you football loving community members might recognize him from another setting... Deputy Stout A.K.A. Couch Stout is a proud coach of Dayton Youth Football League's 12, 13 and 14 age groups... Let's stay on his good side, otherwise he might make us all run sprints or leave us breathless with some up-downs!

In addition to law enforcement and football, Deputy Stout also enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities, loves small towns and is one big history buff! During this interview he gave us the full run-down of Dayton history.

For example, did you know...

Dayton used to be the county seat?

Dayton may be the oldest town in NV even though Genoa also makes this claim?

Three of the original founding families still have descendants living in Dayton?

Dayton, that is one town now, used to be a few smaller towns?

Be sure to catch this guy and ask him about his extensive knowledge and interest in history!

Dayton and Lyon County are lucky to have such a neat community member and we’re even luckier to get to have him in our schools.

Catch ya later!

P.S. Stay tuned for features on our Silver Springs and Fernley SROs!
