Council extends five‑year interlocal agreement with Box Elder School District for school resource officers
Summary
Brigham City extended an interlocal agreement with Box Elder School District to cost‑share school resource officer positions for five years, a change from annual renewals; staff said the partnership provides continuity and supports youth engagement and school safety.
The council approved a five‑year renewal of the interlocal agreement with Box Elder School District to continue cost sharing for school resource officers assigned to district schools. Chief Chad Reyes said the agreement mirrors prior arrangements but extends the contract to five years to avoid annual renewals.
Staff noted recruiting and retention challenges for the SRO positions and described benefits to both the police department and the schools, including crime prevention, daily presence at schools and relationship building with students. The school district pays its share of fully burdened officer costs (wages, benefits, uniforms) on an annual invoice basis.
Council approved the agreement without further amendment. Chief Reyes said the department would continue staffing the positions and invoice the district for the district’s share each year under the five‑year framework.
Ending — The five‑year interlocal agreement was approved; staffing and cost allocations will be managed year‑to‑year through invoices and continued coordination with school officials.
