TO: Newall Daughtrey,Acting City Manager DATE: September 18,2018
FROM: James Dobson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with Miami-Dade County Schools
Mr. Daughtrey,
Due to the recent tragic school shootings,the Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDC-PS) have engaged in public
discourse regarding the role of law enforcement in our public schools. Under the Florida Senate Bill 7026 Public
Safety.
To enhance safety to our public schools within the City of Opa Locka, MDC-PS will provide the City of Opa Locka
$35,088 per year toward the cost of the Resource Officer, per public school within the city, per officer. We have
two public schools which would require two officer be assigned, one per school.
Each Resource Officer will serve to protect the safety of the children, staff and visitors to each school. In order to
fully fund the Resource Officer the city would have committed to entering an MOU to cover the excess cost of the
remaining salary for the two officers, would be approximately$20,000 per officer, per year to include benefits.
The safety of the children in our community is priority, and we have been able to proactively augment services at
the schools in partnership with MDC-PS.
I, therefore, recommend your approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with MDC-PS for funding the
Resource Officer for the 2018-2019 School Year.

Roles and Responsibilities of SBLEOs
1. The primary mission of the SBLEOs is to support the MDSPD by providing a visible
deterrent to crime and a safe learning environment for all students and staff.
2. Non-criminal violations of student conduct is the responsibility of school
administrators.
3. The Law Enforcement Agency and the assigned SBLEO shall abide by state and
federal law and School Board Policies, including The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. §1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) (otherwise known as
"FERPA"), which requires all student information be kept confidential and not
disclosed to any third party. Also, The Law Enforcement Agency agrees to act in
compliance with Chapter 119 of Florida Statutes.
