Under existing law, a local board of education may contract with a local chief of police or sheriff to employ school resource officers. This bill would authorize a sheriff or local chief of police to contract with a nonpublic K-12 school for the provision of school resource officers as long as the services of a school resource officer are available to every public school in the county or municipality where the contracted services would be provided. This bill would also require a sheriff or local chief of police to charge the nonpublic school for the full cost of employing any school resource officer.
