DATE: August 11, 2015
SUBJECT: SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
The City of Pearland'has provided police officers:to the Pearland Independents
School.District to be utilized by the district as a School Resource Officer since)
c1994:. Over the year$„wei have developed a strong working relationship with the
(school district and have become a model far other districts_and_departments'to)
follow.) --
The'School Resource Officer assists the school administration in maintaining a_ :
safe and secure environment. The District benefits from the SROs training,:
knowledge and experience in handling situations involving, but not limited to, a
breach of the peace, thefts, weapons and drug violations. The SRO provides a
highly visible presence to deter or identify trespassers on campus: The SROs
sworn duty:to:enforce the law does not contradict the.need for the SRO to be a
positive role model, it in fact supports it. It is essential for a SRO to endorse high
moral standards and use good judgment and discretion. Through.this, students
learn and understand what a professional police officer does. The relationship
between the SRQs and students has netted lifelong friendships. The officers
take ownership of their school and protect it like it was their home; The SRO
assignment is like no other in law enforcement: These-officers are.carefully
selected and are chosen and agreed upon by our department and members of
the school administration.
As PISD has grown in population so has the need for more SROs. Concerns
regarding budgeting and Manpower within the department have, in the past,
caused us to be hesitant to add SROs. There have been some staffing
adjustments over the past few years to help curb the workload and coverage,
,however, the time has Come to expand the program:
First,PISD_has_requested add anSgO_to cover Tumer:High Schob We had
one officer covering Jr, High South andTurner the past couple of years_Second,
,Chief Doyle_and 1.had a meeting;with.Dr._Kelly earlier in;fhe_yearruestreqngr
.another`mHonth's compensation for all SROs Traditionaly PISD 9ets billed for 9
months of the police officer's salary. We requested an additional month
reimbursement.to help offset some-of the time we Pose these officers during the
summer. months. For instance,the SROs are encouraged to take all their
vacation during the summer months as-to:not leave the school uncovered. The
, -ve Pearland Polio par n a

summer is when they do most of their in service training:which includes:a one
week SRO conference. Any compensatory time built up during the school year
gets used during the summer. We were not getting much, if any, benefit or work
for 3 months although the City was paying their salary. Through meetings and
emails we came to an agreement and Dr. Kelly agreed to pay an additional 10
days salary for 11 SROs.:
I;The'total_estimated cost for salary reimbursement forTthe SROs for FY i
(201512016 is$866,937) In addition to the salaries, PISD also budgets for O&M.
This helps us offset some expenses for training, uniforms, and th a patrol vehicle.
This comes to approximately$57,132 for aCtottal_reirnbursernent of$924;O699 A
spreadsheet is attached for a more in depth look at the totals before and after the
additional ten days.
The current assignments are as follows:

Officer Hernandez : Jr High East
Officer Jones Pearland High School

return of he will be assigned to Dawson High School and Officer Paul will be
