DISCUSSION re: Federal COPS 3 Year Grant re: Partnership with School Districts;
Brinnon, Quilcene, Chimacum for High School Safety Officer: Sheriff David Stanko, Chief Criminal
Deputy Art Frank, Sheriff s Office Clerk Hire Bob Rewitzer and Quilcene School Superintendent Wally
Lis briefed the Board on a proposed Federal COPS 3 -year grant to fund a School Resource Officer
(SRO) for the Chimacum, Quilcene and Brinnon School Districts.
Sheriff Stanko explained the movie "Paper Tigers" and how it described the Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) problem. He stated a deputy on campus can recognize problems before they start,
and it is good to have a good role model in schools. He believes that if kids can see a deputy on campus,
not in an adversary role, it is a good thing. He explained the amount of time it takes Sheriff Deputies to
respond to a call at the Chimacum, Quilcene and Brinnon Schools and added that gap time is crucial.
Having a SRO can minimize that gap time.
The grant is a four-year grant obligation that would cover an SRO position by funding 75% of the
deputy's wage and benefits for the first three years. The School Districts would be responsible for the
additional 25% of the deputy's wage and benefits for the first three years, and then 100% of the 4t' year.
If the grant is approved, a deputy vehicle will need to be provided and Memorandums of Understanding
(MOU) with the school districts would need to be in place. The grant does not cover training for the
deputy who is selected for the position.
The Commissioners discussed the budgetary impacts of adding an SRO. County Administrator Philip
Morley asked Sheriff Stanko if a decision had to be made between an SRO and a Patrol Deputy, what
would he choose? Sheriff Stanko replied that he would prefer a Patrol Deputy, but that both are critical
and equally important. He added that Chief Criminal Deputy Frank needs two more road deputies to
keep people safe. Madam Chair Kler stated that it seems to come down to a choice of being active or
reactive. Chief Criminal Deputy Frank replied that they are making efforts to have a deputy patrol the
schools already. The grant funding would assist them in something they are already trying to do.
In discussing funding and budgeting issues, Chief Criminal Deputy Frank stated that Washington State
Patrol, Clallam County Sheriff s Office and Jefferson County Sheriff s Office West End all have hours
where there is no law enforcement officer on duty. Sheriff Stanko suggested that if need be, the

Jefferson County Sheriff s Office could also implement a closing time of around 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
where law enforcement would need to be called to come in if an incident happened during those hours.
He added that he will not make staffing decisions that jeopardize officer safety.
The Sheriff and staff reviewed other benefits of adding an SRO such as vacation backfill and assistance
with detective work.
