Description
As a partner to build a safer, stronger community, the City of Benton Harbor submitted a proposal to Benton Harbor Area Schools (BHAS) to provide security services to the school district. By placing trained reserve police officers in the school district, BHAS would benefit from improved services and a reduced cost. The City agreed to perform the following duties in addition to providing for the overall safety and security of the facility, staff and students: assist school staff with disruptive students, mitigate student disputes, submit behavior referrals for violations of the school's code of conduct, examine visitors at facilities, and work special events as needs may arise. In return, the City proposed a total annual cost to BHAS of $326,803.83. A news article dated August 13, 2013 reported that this plan would result in savings of approximately $150,000 for the school district.
The City won the bid proposal and has been providing security services to BHAS since September 2013. Upon receiving approval, two full-time public safety officers conducted a thorough analysis of the school district's facilities and provided an assessment report. The City provides seven reserve officers while school is in session and will provide one officer to remain on site during the summer months. A full-time public safety officer supervises the security officers and serves as a liason between the school district and the City. The City has benefited from additional access to information and intelligence which has helped to prevent crime and disturbances before they occur.
No significant barriers were encountered during the implementation of this proposal.
