Massachusetts S419 establishes a grant program and fund for school resource officers to enhance safety and enforce conduct in schools.
Massachusetts S419 creates a School Resource Officer Grant Program and fund to support the employment of certified law enforcement officers in middle and high schools. These officers aim to ensure safety, prevent truancy and violence, and enforce school rules. The fund, which does not revert to the General Fund, will be used to award matching grants to local law enforcement agencies and school boards. The program also includes provisions for officer training and sets criteria for grant distribution, including local matching funds based on ability to pay.
