public charter school located in the heart of Santa Ana, provides a six -year

students, from over 100 cities throughout Southern California, covering grades 7
through 12. The Santa Ana Unified School District Police Department does not provide

OCSA wishes to continue this relationship to enhance the safety of its students and
faculty by entering into a new three-year agreement that will allow the Santa Ana Police
Department to continue providing SRO services on the OCSA campus. This full-time
sworn police officer will be responsible for providing security and crime prevention
services in and around OCSA. The SRO will work directly with school administrators,
teachers, and students to cooperatively provide law enforcement resources coupled
with the mentoring of students and the provision of law enforcement related
presentations on youth issues. This agreement provides for full cost recovery of the
