SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT: El Monte Union High School District
ADDRESS: 3537 Johnson Ave., El Monte, CA 91731
PHONE: (626) 444-9005
This AGREEMENT made and entered into this 1st day of July, 2019 by and between the
City of Rosemead, hereinafter called "CITY," and the El Monte Union High School District
hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows:
1. School Resource Officer. The City shall furnish, at its sole determination, to the
District for the amount described in this Agreement, one full-time Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Deputy to serve as a Rosemead High School Resource Officer (SRO). The City
is authorized to provide a Deputy to act as an SRO pursuant to the City's Service
Agreement with the County of Los Angeles Sheriffs Department.
2. School Resource Officer Program Description: First and foremost, the SRO is a
full-time Sheriff for the City of Rosemead, and is at all times subject to the rules,
regulations, policies and procedures of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and
the City's Service Agreement with the County. The Deputy provided will be selected and
may be subject to change in the sole discretion of the City and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units maybe called as needed and may
assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his/her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His/her on campus presence
provides at- risk students a tool to resolve and/ or avoid conflicts which would occur
without their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely alerted
of pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He/she carefully uses the
information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the SRO works
with these at- risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The SRO will
assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He/she shall identify potential
gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining gangs. The SRO will
routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team Deputies and Supervisors.
Work Schedule:
The SRO will work five (5) eight-hour days per week, in addition to attending specific
school events such as dances, sporting events and field trips. In forming a partnership
with
School Resource Officer Program Agreement July 1, 2019

to-day activities and duties of the SRO. The SRO will be paid overtime at all events which

overtime. All requests for time off need to be made in advance, through the chain of
command. Time off, unless an emergency, should be taken when school is not in session.
In general, the SRO is to be available during the hours of school operation, with all non-
school relation police department activity conducted when school is not in session.
Duties of the SRO:
• Serve as a positive role model and representative of the LA County Sheriff's
Department.

• Special safety programs/presentations.
• Faculty/staff in-service presentations.
• Group counseling with students.
• Field trip chaperone.
• Parent organization presentation.
Campus Activity, Duties and Responsibilities:

school's activities. Each SRO shall readily participate and/or support all school programs
and events.
• To increase students' understanding and respect for law enforcement through
interaction on informal situations and activities.
• To serve as a resource person in talks to classes, assemblies and to staff to involve

Page 3 of 6
• To have access to routine school information such as names, addresses, and
telephone numbers, Records of a more confidential nature may be shared with the
SRO by the Principal or other professional person designated by the Principal.
• To participate, at the discretion of the Principal, in case conferences, especially
when potential delinquency is a factor. The SRO does not assume the role and
function of the counselor or administrator.
• To keep the Principal informed concerning apprehension of students enrolled in
his/her school that may impact the school. He/she may be called upon by school
Principals to verify the referral of students to law enforcement agencies or the
courts.
• To make referrals to community agencies other than juvenile authorities, in
accordance with regular school procedures.
• To take direct action to apprehend and if necessary arrest the person responsible

• Coaching sports activities.
• Chaperone field trips.

School Resource Officer Program Agreement July 1, 2019
Page 4 of 6
• Conflict resolution.
• Drug awareness.
• Anti-graffiti education.
Chain of Command:
The chain of command for the SRO is the area most open to miscommunication because
the officer has to follow two sets of rules, those of the LA County Sheriffs Department as
well as those of the District. While the officer is ultimately a city contract employee and
an employee of the Sheriff's Department, the officer is also viewed as a staff member and
must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO' s activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriff's Department. It is the duty of the SRO
to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions, 'under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.
3. Compensation and Hours Provided: The maximum dollar amount for this
Agreement shall be $127,740.00 for 1,648 Hours.
4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period of twelve months, beginning
July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020.
5. Payment schedule: Payments from the District to the City shall be made monthly in
the amount of ten thousand six hundred forty-five dollars ($10,645.00) to be made on the
25th day of the month prior to the 1st day of service for the next calendar month. If
payment is not received prior to the 1st day of the calendar month, the SRO will not be
made available until such payment is received by the City.
6. Location of Service: Location of work to be performed: Rosemead High School.
7. Termination: Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written
notice to the other of such termination and specifying the effective date thereof, at least
fifteen (15) days before the effective date of such termination.

rules, and regulations. District shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably
acceptable to City) and hold harmless City, its officers, employees, and agents, from any
and all liabilities, claims, debts actions, liens, judgments, demands, damages, losses,
costs or expenses of any kind arising from death, personal injury, property damage, or

California Government Code section 53060 authorizes the legislative body of any public or municipal
corporation or district to contract with and employ any persons for the furnishings to the corporation or district
special services and advice in financial, economic, accounting, engineering, legal, or administrative matters if
such persons are specially trained and experienced and competent to perform the special services required.
The authority given wherein to contract shall include the right of the legislative body of the corporation or
district to contract for the issuance and preparation of payroll checks. The legislative body of the corporation or
district may pay from any available funds such compensation to such persons as it deems proper for the
"special services" rendered. The Los Angeles Sheriff Department possesses the special experience, knowledge
and expertise necessary for the performance of the "special services" required by this agreement.
Pursuant to Education Code 32261, it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage California public schools to
develop comprehensive safety plans that are the result of a systematic planning process that includes
strategies aimed at the prevention of incidents involving crime and violence on school campuses and that
address the safety concerns of local law enforcement and other interests in the prevention of school crime and
violence; and pursuant to the educational code 32261, it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage school
districts and law enforcement agencies to develop and implement interagency strategies, service training
programs and activities that will improve school attendance and reduce the rates of school crime including
vandalism, drug and alcohol abuse, gang membership and gang violence.
Pursuant to Education Code 32262, the Legislature has established School /Law Enforcement Partnership
comprising the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Attorney General which has as its duties the

PHONE: (626) 444 -9005
This AGREEMENT made and entered into this 1St day of July, 2015 by and between the
City of Rosemead hereinafter called "CITY" and the El Monte Union High School District
hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows:
1. School Resource Officer. The City shall furnish, at its sole determination, to the
District for the amount described in this Agreement, one full -time Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Deputy to serve as a Rosemead High School Resource Officer (SRO). The
City is authorized to provide a Deputy to act as an SRO pursuant to the City's Service
Agreement with the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
2. School Resource Officer Program Description:
First and foremost, the SRO is a full -time Sheriff for the City of Rosemead, and is at all
times subject to the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Los Angeles County

provided will be selected and may be subject to change in the sole discretion of the City
and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units may be called as needed and
may assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his /her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His /her on campus presence
provides at -risk students a tool to resolve and /or avoid conflicts which would occur without
their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely alerted of
pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He /she carefully uses the
information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the SRO works
with these at -risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The SRO will
assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He /she shall identify
potential gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining gangs. The
SRO will routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team Deputies and
Supervisors.
Work Schedule:
The SRO will work 5 eight hour days per week, in addition to attending specific school
events such as dances, sporting events and field trips. In forming a partnership with
Rosemead High School, the SRO and school officials will confer to tailor the specific day -
to -day activities and duties of the SRO. The SRO will be paid overtime at all school

• Law of evidence /search and seizure.
• Conflict resolution.

Chain of Command:
The chain of command for the SRO is the area most open to miscommunication because
the officer has to follow two sets of rules, those of the LA County Sheriff's Department as
well as those of the District. While the officer is ultimately a city contract employee and
an employee of the Sheriff's Department, the officer is also viewed as a staff member and
must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO's activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriff's Department. It is the duty of the SRO
to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions, under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.

City of Rosemead hereinafter called "CITY" and the El Monte Union High School District
hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows

times subject to the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department and the City's Service Agreement with the County. The
Deputy provided will be selected and may be subject to change in the sole discretion of
the City and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units may be called as needed and
may assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his /her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His /her on campus presence
provides at -risk students a tool to resolve and /or avoid conflicts which would occur
without their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely
alerted of pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He /she carefully
uses the information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the
SRO works with these at -risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The
SRO will assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He /she shall
identify potential gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining
gangs. The SRO will routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team
Deputies and Supervisofs.

employee and an employee of the Sheriff's Department, the officer is also viewed as a
staff member and must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior
toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO's activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriff's Department. It is the duty of the
SRO to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions, under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.
3. Compensation and Hours Provided. The maximum dollar amount for this
Agreement shall be $83,438.24. 1,648 Hours @ $50.63 per hour.
4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period of twelve months,
beginning July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2013.
5. Payment schedule: Payments from the District to the City shall be made monthly in
the amount of six thousand nine hundred and fifty -three dollars and nineteen cents
($6,953.19) to be made on the 25th day of the month prior to the 1St day of service for
the next calendar month. If payment is not received prior to the 1St day of the
calendar month, the SRO will not be made available until such payment is received
by the City. .

Chain of Command:
The chain of command for the SRO is the area most open to miscornmunicafion
because the officer has to follow two sets of rules, those of the LA County Sheriff's
Department as well as those of the District. While the officer is ultimately a city contract
employee and an employee of the Sheriff's Department, the officer is also viewed as a
staff member and must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior
toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO's activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriff's Department. It is the duty of the
SRO to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions., under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.

PHONE: (626) 444 -9005
This AGREEMENT made and entered into this 3rd day of June, 201005 by and between
the City of Rosemead hereinafter called "CITY" and the El Monte Union High School
District hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows
1. School Resource Officer. The City shall furnish, at its sole determination, to the
District for the amount described in this Agreement, one full -time Los Angeles County
Sheriffs Deputy to serve as a Rosemead High School Resource Officer (SRO). The

times subject to the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department and the City's Service Agreement with the County. The
Deputy provided will be selected and may be subject to change in the sole discretion of
the City and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units may be called as needed and
may assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his /her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His /her on campus presence
provides at -risk students a tool to resolve and /or avoid conflicts which would occur
without their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely
alerted of pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He /she carefully
uses the information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the
SRO works with these at -risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The
SRO will assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He /she shall
identify potential gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining
gangs. The SRO will routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team
Deputies and Supervisors.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM AGREEMENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT: El Monte Union High School District
ADDRESS: 3537 Johnson Ave., El Monte, CA 91731
PHONE: (626) 444 -9005
This AGREEMENT made and entered into this 3`d day of June, 2009 by and between
the City of Rosemead hereinafter called "CITY" and the El Monte Union High School
District hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows:
1. School Resource Officer. The City shall furnish, at its sole determination, to the
District for the amount described in this Agreement, one full -time Los Angeles County
Sheriffs Deputy to serve as a Rosemead High School Resource Officer (SRO). The
City is authorized to provide a Deputy to act as an SRO pursuant to the City's Service
Agreement with the County of Los Angeles Sheriffs Department.
2. School Resource Officer Program Description:
First and foremost, the SRO is a full -time Sheriff for the City of Rosemead, and is at all
times subject to the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department and the City's Service Agreement with the County. The
Deputy provided will be selected and may be subject to change in the sole discretion of
the City and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units may be called as needed and
may assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his /her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His /her on campus presence
provides at -risk students a tool to resolve and /or avoid conflicts which would occur
without their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely
alerted of pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He /she carefully
uses the information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the
SRO works with these at -risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The
SRO will assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He /she shall
identify potential gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining
gangs. The SRO will routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team
Deputies and Supervisors.

• Traffic safety.
• Campus safety.
• Law of evidence /search and seizure.
• Conflict resolution.

Chain of Command:
The chain of command for the SRO is the area most open to miscommunication
because the officer has to follow two sets of rules, those of the LA County Sheriffs
Department as well as those of the District. While the officer is ultimately a city contract
employee and an employee of the Sheriffs Department, the officer is also viewed as a
staff member and must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior
toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO's activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriffs Department. It is the duty of the
SRO to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions, under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.
3. Compensation and Hours Provided. The maximum dollar amount for this
Agreement shall be $85,504.65. 1,815 Hours @ $47.11 per hour.
4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period of twelve months,
beginning July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2010.
5. Payment schedule: Payments from the District to the City shall be made monthly in
the amount of seven thousand one hundred and twenty -five dollars and thirty -nine
cents ($7,125.39) to be made on the 25"' day of the month prior to the 15` day of
service for the next calendar month. If payment is not received prior to the 1" day of
the calendar month, the SRO will not be made available until such payment is
received by the City.

City of Rosemead hereinafter called "CITY" and the El Monte Union High School District
hereinafter called the "DISTRICT."
WITNESSETH: The parties hereby contract and agree as follows:
1. School Resource Officer. The City shall furnish, at its sole determination, to the
District for the amount described in this Agreement, one full-time Los Angeles County

provided will be selected and may be subject to change in the sole discretion of the City
and County.
The SRO Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer to
serve as a resource to the students and school. It is not the intention of the program to
have the SRO take all police reports. Other patrol units may be called as needed and
may assist as needed with serious and complex cases.
The SRO acts as a buffer for students at the school, as his/her role is unique when
compared to other staff members on the school campus. His/her on campus presence
provides at-risk students a tool to resolve and/or avoid conflicts which would occur without
their presence. The SRO builds the trust of many students and is routinely alerted of
pending fights, drugs, and racial tension and gang conflicts. He/she carefully uses the
information for crime prevention purposes and school safety. Additionally the SRO works
with these at-risk students and redirects them to more positive outlets. The SRO will
assist in identifying and eliminating taggers and their crews. He/she shall identify
potential gang members and attempt to deter these individuals from joining gangs. The
SRO will routinely share relevant information with Rosemead Team Deputies and
Supervisors.
Work Schedule:
The SRO will work 5 eight hour days per week, in addition to attending specific school
events such as dances, sporting events and field trips. In forming a partnership with
Rosemead High School, the SRO and school officials will confer to tailor the specific day-
to-day activities and duties of the SRO. The SRO will be paid overtime at all school

• Law of evidence/search and seizure.

Chain of Command:
The chain of command for the SRO is the area most open to miscommunication because
the officer has to follow two sets of rules, those of the LA County Sheriffs Department as
well as those of the District. While the officer is ultimately a city contract employee and
an employee of the Sheriff's Department, the officer is also viewed as a staff member and
must conform to the rules governing both dress code and behavior toward students.
While the Rosemead High School Principal is not in the SRO's chain of command, the
principal is still of great importance since the principal is ultimately responsible for all
aspects of campus activities. This principal and administrative staff has the obligation to
direct the SRO's activities as well as protect the best interests of the students. Every
effort should be made to accommodate all reasonable requests. The principal shall
designate one school official to be the immediate contact person to serve as liaison
between the school administration and the Sheriff's Department. It is the duty of the SRO
to communicate their activities to the liaison.
The SRO Deputy is one of the Special Assignment Officer Positions, under the
supervision of the Rosemead Special Assignment Sergeant.

Agreement shall be $89,601.76. 1,648 Hours @ $54.37 per hour.
