Assistance Grant for the School Resource Officer (SRO) Truancy Reduction Project
Purpose of Item:
It is recommended that the Miami City Commission adopt the attached Resolution to establish a new
Special Revenue Project entitled: "School Resource Officer Project" and appropriating funds, in the
amount of $20,590, consisting of a grant from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Justice
Assistance Grant, for the Department of Police; authorizing the City Manager to execute an
agreement, in substantially the attached form, and all necessary documents, in a form acceptable to
the City Attorney, in order to implement the acceptance and administration of said grant.
Background Information:
This funding will allow the Miami Police Department to increase the level of services provided to our
community. Specifically, the department will use School Resource Officers to identify and deter
truancy amongst the student population. Truancy efforts will be directed to middle and high school
age youth. The School Resource Officers will increase the number of truancy sweeps during the
school year; they will provide crime prevention educational classes to all targeted schools; and will
require all truants to participate in monthly diversionary activities, as well as anti -crime prevention
sessions together with their parents. The police department will continue its efforts in the Resisting
Aggression Defensively Program (RADKids) in targeted schools within the City.
