This item concerns a planned School Resource Officer Agreement between the Volusia County School Board and the City of DeLand. The agreement aims to improve student and law enforcement relations, deter crime on school grounds, and enforce laws. A uniformed law enforcement officer will be present at school sites and available for presentations. This agreement is planned to be in effect from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2029. The scope of work involves the provision of law enforcement services within school premises, including maintaining a visible presence and engaging with students, faculty, and parents. This is an early stage in the public process, as the agreement is under review. Local businesses that provide services related to public safety, security, and potentially educational outreach could find opportunities. Engaging now, before final agreements are set, allows for understanding the needs and potential involvement.
