The school liaison program has given Uie Police Department and the Orono School district a <br />unique opportunity to intervene early, not only providing for a safer school atmosphere, but <br />allowing for a more positive police student relationship. <br />Long Term Funding <br />Although the grant provides a very cost effective way to hire an additional police officer, there <br />will be additional city costs beginning in year 3, and continuing beyond the 3 year grant period. <br />A table showing the costs and funding sources is attached. <br />In conclusion, the asset of early intervention by the Police Department, through the School <br />Liaison position, should not only provide for a safer environment within our school and <br />community, but by adding an officer on the road will provide an increase of Police presence <br />within the community. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Permission to accept the U.S. Department of Justice award for $125,000 as funding for a full­ <br />time school liaison officer.
