NICEVILLE — Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office school resource officers were called in to help run an evacuation center at the Northwest Florida State College campus Raider Center Tuesday night when, according to County Commissioner Carolyn Ketchel, Red Cross volunteers walked off the job.

The walk off occurred when a disagreement arose over the registration procedure being used to sign in evacuees, according to Graham Fountain, the chairman of the County Commission.

County Sheriff’s Office personnel were signing people in and then conducting background checks. These are done, Ketchel said, to identify sexual predators or undocumented immigrants.

“We’re going to do background checks. It’s just our protocol here,” she said, adding that county officials see a need to segregate children and families in an evacuation center environment for their safety.
