at area schools. By the time the decision was taken to permanently end the program (in  2021),&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statesmanjournal.com\/story\/news\/education\/2021\/03\/09\/salem-keizer-superintendent-perry-decides-end-school-resource-officer-contracts\/6933414002\/\" target=\"_blank\">SKPS was spending about $1 million annually on these contracts.<\/a>&nbsp;According to The Statesman Journal article, &#8220;These costs covered 11 officers with both Keizer and Salem police departments, as well as the Marion County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, each covering the schools that fall within their agency&#8217;s jurisdiction.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High Schools generally had an SRO assigned to each one; middle schools, generally, also had an SRO assigned to each school. However, NO elementary school ever had an SRO assigned to them. Officers were available to offer basic support, i.e., threat response, child protective investigations, and counsel regarding criminal behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we thought we were getting for our money was an SRO.
