The Oro Valley Town Council has decided to expand its offer of Oro Valley Police Department-assigned officers to every K-12 school in the community. The town council's May 3 decision reads that each school should be invited to 'have a school resource officer, or other alternate security' as approved by OVPD. If an SRO is assigned, 'Oro Valley shall request a reimbursement from each school' for the cost of its officer, the policy reads. In addition, the OVPD, as well as the town's emergency management and safety coordinator, should 'annually review and provide input' on every school's security and emergency plans.
