sCabarrus County heriff's D e p ea. a?s,ner! lVlEMO TO: FROM: MR. FRANK CLIFFON COUNTYMANAGER SHERIFF ROBERT M. CANADAY DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 1996 SUBJECT: School Resource Officers for High Schools Dr. Winkler, Superintendent of Schools in Cabarrus County has notified me of the appropriation of funding to provide a School Resource officer for each high school in North Carolina. The General Assembly appropriated 14 million dollars for this purpose which equates to providing maximum funding of $37, 838 for each officer (total of $75,675.00). (See attached copy of the notification to the schools). Dr. Winkler has requested that I proceed as soon as possible with the selection and placement of resource officers at Mt. Pleasant and Northwest Cabarrus High Schools. PROPOSAL AND REQUEST The Board of Commissioners need to allocate two (2) Deputy Sheriff positions for my Department at entry level salary plus benefits. I will select trained and qualified officers to fill the two positions of school resource officers (RSOs). Once the officers are selected they will assume the duties of RSOs and the school system will be billed on a quarterly basis for the total compensation (salary plus benefits) of the officers actually filling the positions. The funding is for a 10 month period while schools are in operation. This will require the county to absorb 2 months of the cost of the officers. I would not be able to hire officers to work 10 months and be relieved from duty for 2 months without compensation. During the 2 months that the officers are not in the schools they will be utilized for law enforcement purposes in the county. P.O. BOX 525 25 CORBAN AVE.
