Resolution approving the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Davenport and the Davenport Community School District concerning the assignment, duties, and execution of the School Resource Officer program. [All Wards]

In August 2020, the Davenport Community School District and the City of Davenport approved a funding agreement for the DCSD School Resource Officer program, in which DCSD reimburses the City the cost of the Davenport Police Department personnel assigned to district buildings.

When approving the funding agreement, City Council requested the creation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the School District to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the SROs. 

The MOU communicates the mutually acknowledged expectations that ensure the SRO program is administered equitably, effectively, and meets or exceeds nationally accepted best practices.
