Title
Joint resolution approving an intergovernmental Police Services Agreement by and among Lake County, Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), and the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL) for the deployment of the full-time School Resource Office (SRO) Program for the Gages Lake Campus for the period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.
Staff Summary
* The LCSO has been providing the SEDOL with police/School Resource Officer (SRO) services at its Gages Lake campus for over 15 years.
* The main objectives in having a SRO are to develop a positive relationship between law enforcement and the students, effectively deal with juvenile offenses/issues and to protect students and the school from violations of the law.
* This agreement establishes the commitment of all participants to support the goals of the SRO Program and defines the role of the SRO.
* The SRO is present on campus full-time during the regular school year and may be present during summer school if requested by SEDOL.
* For year one of this agreement period, SEDOL will reimburse 95 percent of the cost for the SRO position. The reimbursement will increase to 100 percent for the two remaining subsequent years. This achieves the original goal and continues that commitment for the balance of this agreement and beyond.
* At least once a year, the LCSO and SEDOL will evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
