Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland, Middle Township Chief of Police Christopher Leusner, and school administrators of the Cape May County Technical High School jointly announced the completion of a random K-9 sweep of the Cape May County Technical High School for narcotics. On Thursday, following the start of the school day, a pre-planned, unannounced K-9 sweep operation for illegal drugs was coordinated by the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office, the Middle Township Police Department and by school officials.  K-9 Units from the Cape May County Sheriff's Department, with assistance of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department, conducted the random sweep of areas of the high school.
Authorities did not say whether any arrests were made in a press release announcing the drug sweep. Sutherland commended the cooperation of law enforcement agencies and the initiative of the Cape May County Technical School administrators in supporting drug prevention philosophies and initiatives. The purpose of Thursday's operation was to help the administrators maintain a safe and drug-free school environment, as well as to send a strong deterrent message to its students, the press release said. Law enforcement will continue to work closely with community and school officials on a regular basis to hold future operations throughout Cape May County.
