Loading...
Summary
The council approved a four-year School Resource Officer agreement with Trenton Public Schools, effective July 1, 2026–June 30, 2030; the district participated in selection and chose Officer Tracy Mounts to continue as SRO.
Chief Hawkins presented an agreement between the City of Trenton and Trenton Public Schools assigning a police officer to the district as a School Resource Officer from 07/01/2026 through 06/30/2030. He told the council the agreement "has been approved by the school district, and has been reviewed and approved by our legal counsel."
Hawkins said the school district participated in the interview and selection process; the district selected Officer Tracy Mounts to remain in the role. When a councilmember asked about training, Hawkins said there is an SRO school the officer is required to attend and noted the district's involvement in the selection was a new development for this renewal. The council moved, supported and approved the agreement without recorded amendments.
The agreement was described as a four-year renewal with modest language and performance-standard updates from the prior agreement.
