The SRS will be expected to work in conjunction with <br />the Miami -Dade Schools Police Officer to serve the students, teachers, and parents as well as participate <br />in educational programs such as DARE. The estimated amount to include fringe benefits needed to fund <br />this position is $190,000.00. <br />Additionally the Police Department is also seeking approval to expend $148,266.61 with M illenium (sic) <br />Products Inc. of Department of Justice forfeiture funds to upgrade the CCTV system currently in place <br />at PCP.

If they are observed, an <br />alert will be sent directly to the Police Communications Center Hiperwall. This will allow our <br />Communications Officers to get a visual on the event and dispatch police officers immediately. <br />Additionally the Al server has the ability to recognize faces.
