The schools provide all supplies and equipment. The SRO was secured through a grant. The additional SROs were secured by a grant to the police division with the required cash match being paid by the schools. Community agency grants assist with the funds for Go Ahead and Tell and Operation Prom. Volunteers from the police, courts and the medical profession conduct the Class Action and Keep The Peace activities.
Community businesses contribute the printed materials.
The total community is involved in the planning and costs of activities to improve the safety of the schools. The community-based advisory committee meets to develop strategies and review programs. This plan has been an overwhelming success. The networking among the agencies has improved services to the community as a whole. Other committees are now using the model to address community concerns other than safety.
