Contract AdminPublic SafetyDetected Jun 9, 2026

On June 9, 2026 the City Commission approved Municipal Order 2026-60 authorizing a revised agreement with Paris Independent Schools concerning school resource officers (SROs) beginning in Fiscal Year 2027. The revised contract establishes a two‑SRO structure funded at 55000 per position, confirms that the Police Chief retains sole authority over officer assignments, addresses off‑duty event compensation, clarifies that staffing levels are not guaranteed, and confirms City ownership of all SRO equipment. It also includes an annual funding contingency to manage budget risk for both parties., radios, in‑school cameras, reporting tools) and training tailored to the school environment. Vendors of public safety technology, officer training, and school security solutions can use this as a touchpoint to discuss how to support the enhanced SRO presence, while keeping in mind that the primary service contract is already in place.

The order authorizes the City Manager and City Attorney to finalize contract language and authorizes execution by the Mayor, City Manager, and City Clerk.
