SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Erie Police Department and the School District have jointly developed a School Resource Officer (SRO) Program to provide a school-based approach to the development of a positive relationship between students and police officers working towards prevention of delinquency, alcohol and substance abuse, and gang involvement by our community’s young people. Such programs are recognized as being effective in the development of a positive relationship between the police, faculty, students and parents in the prevention of delinquency and promotion of school safety.
The attached 2018-2019 Intergovernmental Agreement outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Erie Police Department and the School District, desired outcomes, related administrative responsibilities and is in principal a continuance of previous year’s agreements and commitment to the SRO Program.
