Council hears public-safety report; SRO agreement read with amount unclear in transcript
Summary
Chief Lowry read an annual school resource officer renewal for Bay Creek Elementary and Loganville High School; the amount was read into the record but appears garbled in the transcript. Chief Lowry also reported 2024 call volumes for police and fire.
Public safety committee chair Melanie Long introduced Chief Lowry to read the annual renewal of the city’s school resource officer (SRO) agreement covering two Walton County public schools located inside Loganville: Bay Creek Elementary and Loganville High School.
Chief Lowry said the agreement is largely unchanged and would go into effect with the upcoming school year. The amount read into the record appears in the transcript as "133,000 79492"; the figure in the record should be verified against the formal contract or the meeting packet for accuracy before publication.
Chief Lowry also presented department statistics for 2024: the police department answered 31,352 calls with an average response time of 6 minutes, 22 seconds, and the fire department answered 2,563 calls (average response time given in the record). Councilmembers placed the SRO item on the consent calendar for formal action.
Attribution: Melanie Long introduced the item and Chief Lowry read the terms into the record.
