ITEM:
Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the application to the COPS-CHP-Application-2020 from the San Luis Police Department. (Richard Jessup, Chief of Police)
SUMMARY:
The San Luis Police Department (SLPD) is currently in the process of applying for several COPS grants for the purpose of establishing two (2) new School Resource Officers (SRO) for both San Luis Middle School and Southwest Junior High. The Police Department, Economic Development, and Finance Department all contributed to the information given to the Gadsden School District #32 for their grant application for seven (7) school counselor positions and two (2) SRO positions. They received the seven (7) school counselor positions and were denied the two (2) SRO positions.
The Police Department met with the school district grant writer, as well as district administration as to our application and process to obtain funding for these two (2) SRO positions. The deadline for this application is March 11, 2020, and all of the city personnel involved in this process have been very busy with making the necessary changes to both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and GRANTS.GOV sites to upload and create the workspace for the information to be uploaded for grant consideration.
Should the application be awarded, SLPD and the city would be responsible for the following:
