The City of Cocoa Beach is reviewing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The School Board of Brevard County to assign School Resource Officers (SROs) to school campuses. This agreement aims to enhance school security and safety by improving communication between law enforcement, state agencies, and community behavioral health providers. The proposed partnership would involve SROs being assigned to schools for up to 220 days during the school year. The city's share of the funding for this program is projected to be $64,094 for the 2026/2027 school year. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the agreement would involve the allocation of funds and the assignment of personnel, potentially creating opportunities for related administrative and support services. Local businesses involved in public safety, administrative support, or financial services may find opportunities related to this ongoing civic discussion.
