Board of County Commissioners Workshop · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns the rights and duties of the Sheriff regarding School Resource Officer (SRO) services. The Sheriff will assign deputies to provide these services at locations determined by the School Board. The deputies will wear their full Sumter County Sheriff's Office uniform while on duty. If an SRO is reassigned, resigns, is dismissed, or is absent long-term, the Sheriff must provide a temporary replacement until a new SRO is hired, trained, and certified. The Sheriff will also coordinate with the School Board to train personnel to act as School Safety Officers and Guardians. This is a planned service agreement, indicating an early stage in the public process. The work involves personnel assignment, training coordination, and potentially temporary staffing. This opportunity could involve support services related to personnel management and training coordination. Reaching out now, before specific staffing and training plans are finalized, allows businesses to understand the needs and potentially offer relevant services.
