On June 4, 2025, the SRO MOU with CNUSD was presented for council approval. The MOU renewal provides for:
- Annual increases to match compensation raises,
- Increases overtime reimbursement,
- Increases vehicle motor pool contributions by CNUSD beginning FY27, and - Continued 50/50 cost sharing for SROs.
Due to concerns about other cities having better cost sharing agreements with CNUSD, council asked that staff research and report back to Council with further information.
• CNUSD covers 100% of one RSO Deputy valued at approx. $121,000 annually • CNUSD headquarters building rental covered by City of Norco
• CNUSD covers 50% of one RSO Deputy at Roosevelt valued at approx. $60,500 annually • CNUSD covers 100% for a second SRO due to high population of STEM valued at approx. $121,000 annually
2 • CNUSD covers 50% for each officer valued at approx. $520,000 annually, or $104,000 per officer • CPD billable rate is nearly twice that of an RSO Deputy
CNUSD SRO Discussion
• MOU now includes annual increases to match compensation raises, increases overtime reimbursement, and increases vehicle motor pool contributions by CNUSD beginning FY27.
• CPD created a special event reimbursement MOU which increases the billable rate from 50% to 100%. (i.e. sporting events, graduation, etc.) This will generate approx. $140,000 in additional recurring revenue.
Council review scheduled for 9/17/2025.
• SRO agreements are unique for each jurisdiction and school; CPD's agreement is comparable with other police agreements with CNUSD. 3
