The county budget packet shifts more than $1.17 million toward SROs and sheriff operations
Two carryover entries would cover school-resource officers whose grant support ended, plus vehicles and property needs. Readers should separate the proposal from an adopted staffing plan.

Two entries, several uses
The FY2027 amendment packet proposes $833,610.03 from Sheriff operating savings and $338,151.40 from Jail operating savings. Both entries identify school-resource officer costs after grant support ended; the Sheriff entry also lists vehicles, fleet costs, property improvements, furniture and fixtures.
The largest named Sheriff sub-item is about $507,269 for vehicles. The packet also identifies $163,738.60 for SROs on the Sheriff side and $338,151.40 for SROs from the Jail carryover.
The questions behind the totals
The notice is a budget document, not a staffing roster. It does not say which schools receive which officers, how many positions are covered or whether the vehicle amount reflects replacements, additions or both.
- Ask how many SRO positions the carryover sustains and for how long.
- Ask for the vehicle count, replacement criteria and procurement timeline.
- Distinguish one-time carryover from recurring payroll obligations.
