7. Leaves/Coverage. The Chief of Police or another designated scheduling officer

May 19, 2026 City Council Regular Session · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns a policy update for School Resource Officers (SROs) within the City of Mount Dora. The proposed policy outlines procedures for approving SRO leaves, such as vacations and sick days, and requires the law enforcement agency to provide coverage for SROs when they are off campus. It also details the hours of assignment for SROs, who will be stationed at three designated schools for 80 hours per two-week period, Monday through Friday. This policy is currently under review by the City Council. The implementation of this policy will require coordination for SRO scheduling and coverage, potentially involving administrative and support services related to law enforcement personnel management. Local businesses specializing in administrative support or specialized law enforcement services may find opportunities by engaging early to understand the city's needs as the policy moves forward.
