Vermontville seeks inter-county cooperation for school resource officer coverage
Summary
Vermontville village president Gary Goras asked the county for cooperation while the village explores sharing costs with the local high school and neighboring departments to provide a school resource officer, noting cross-county processing rules complicate enforcement.
Gary Goras, village president of Vermontville, told the committee his village is discussing shared funding with the high school and neighboring police departments to provide a school resource officer. Goras said cross-county jurisdictional rules complicate case processing when an officer from one county attempts to handle cases in another, and he asked the sheriff's office for cooperation as the village seeks partners to make the arrangement work.
Goras said Vermontville has limited coverage and asked for help while it negotiates a solution; he said village leaders will return with specific requests after identifying partners and legal steps to allow cross-county case processing.
