Council approves standard operating procedures for School Resource Officer
Summary
Police Chief Eric Whirring presented standard operating procedures for the School Resource Officer (SRO) program and said he would add annual reporting to council if requested; council approved the SOPs and discussed recordkeeping and coordination with the school district.
The council approved standard operating procedures governing the School Resource Officer program after a presentation from Police Chief Eric Whirring.
Whirring said the SOP documents and a job description were shared with the school superintendent for review but that no formal feedback had been received. Councilmembers asked whether SRO activity would be documented; Whirring said calls for service would be documented as usual, and he offered to add an annual report or daily log to provide the council with visibility into the program. The council approved the SOPs with the caveat staff would work with the school district and consider adding routine reporting to council.
The SOPs will guide SRO duties, clarify supervisory relationships between the police department and school administrators for day‑to‑day direction, and provide a framework for annual evaluation of the program.
