Peoria County approves three SRO contracts and a five‑hundred‑thousand‑plus camera grant
Summary
The board unanimously approved three‑year school resource officer contracts with 3% annual increases for Pleasant Valley, Illini Bluffs and Princeville (Princeville cost‑sharing with the village) and accepted a multi‑year law enforcement camera grant reported as over $500,000.
The sheriff presented three intergovernmental agreements to fund school resource officer (SRO) coverage and a separate law enforcement camera grant, and the board approved each item unanimously.
The SRO agreements — with Pleasant Valley, Illini Bluffs and Princeville school districts — are three‑year contracts with a 3% annual increase. The sheriff said SRO training language was added to comply with recent legislation and that the Princeville agreement splits costs with the village. "This is one of three contracts ... one school resource officer," the sheriff said while introducing the agreements.
Board members had no substantive objections and voted to approve each contract. The record shows the motions carried and were reported as unanimous; no individual vote tallies were announced.
The sheriff also described a multi‑year law enforcement camera grant for body and in‑car dash cameras and integration with evidence systems such as Axon and evidence.com. The sheriff said the department had received smaller awards in prior years (about $20,000 previously and nearly $30,000 on a subsequent award) and that this grant is "over $500,000." The board voted to accept the grant; the motion passed.
No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt. The board moved to public comment and adjourned after approving the contracts and the grant.
