BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Police Department, in a joint agreement with the Lodi
Unified School District (LUSD), places four School Resource
Officers (SROs) in the elementary, middle, and high schools within
the City limits, and because of the mutual benefits of this program, LUSD agrees to compensate the City
of Lodi $315,410 annually to pay for two of the four SRO positions. This program has been in effect for
the last 17 years. The SROs are responsible for 20 different schools and are called upon approximately
five to ten times per day for various requests including intervention, enforcement and stand-bys, etc. This
program is a very valuable tool that allows the Lodi Police Department to respond to the needs of LUSD
without impacting patrol resources.
ln addition, the district will continue to provide office space for the SROs located at Lodi High and Tokay
High, that includes furniture and general otfice supplies.
FISCAL IMPACT:Adopting the resolution allows the Police Department to receive
funding for two of the four school resource officer positions that
othen¡vise would come from the General Fund in the amount of
$630,820 for two years.
