REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 8/5/2024 Item No.: 10.g. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Approve Roseville Area Schools Resource Officers Agreement for the 2024-2025 School Year 1 2 Background 3 The Roseville Police Department currently has two school resource officers (SRO). One full-time SRO is 4 assigned to Roseville Area High School (RAHS) and one full-time SRO is assigned to Roseville Area 5 Middle School (RAMS) and provides support to the elementary schools within the district. This 6 agreement aims to meet the need for licensed peace officers, offering specific services to the Roseville 7 Area School District. It establishes a framework for collaboration between schools and law enforcement, 8 focusing on shared goals. 9 10 Key objectives of the partnership include enhancing communication and coordination to foster a safe 11 and positive learning environment. By defining roles and expectations, the partnership formalizes 12 relationships between officers, school administrators, staff, students, and families. Importantly, assigning 13 an SRO to elementary and middle schools ensures continuity of support as students progress to RAHS, 14 aiming to build enduring positive relationships across the community. 15 16 During summer months, when school is not in session, both SROs will be temporarily assigned to the 17 patrol or investigations unit. 18 19 The city attorney has reviewed and approved the contract. 20 21 Policy Objectives 22 One of Roseville's Community Aspirations is to be a community where all people feel safe and secure, 23 and where trust and mutual respect for police are fostered. The presence of school resource officers is 24 crucial in achieving this aspiration. These officers not only help ensure the safety of our students and 25 staff, but they also serve as vital resources, connecting students with the support they need to succeed. 26 The role of a school resource officer extends beyond safety, as they build relationships and develop trust 27 with our students and staff, fostering a positive and supportive school environment. 28 29 Equity Impact Summary 30 Roseville Police School Resource Officers aim to foster relationships and build trust between law 31 enforcement and young people and families from Roseville’s historically disadvantaged communities. 32 They establish connections among schools, law enforcement, mental health providers, and other 33 community-based organizations, supporting the City of Roseville and the Roseville Police Department’s 34 commitment to creating a safe and inclusive community for all. 35 36 Budget Implications 37 As with past agreements, the Roseville School District agrees to assume 67 percent of the total costs 38 associated with salary and cell phone charges of each officer. The school district also provides office 39 space for both SROs at no cost to the city. Page 1 of 2 Qbhf!273!pg!2:4
