(i.e. personal relationships with administrators, students, and/or teachers), and the needs <br />and requests of the Superintendent. <br />d. That SROs are law enforcement SROs and not a school administrator or employee. <br />In all matters relating to the performance of law enforcement functions, such as but not <br />limited to, criminal incident investigations and on -campus arrests, the SRO shall be subject <br />to all standard operating procedures of the AGENCY and applicable local, state or federal <br />law. <br />e. SROs shall not act as school disciplinarians, as disciplining students is a school <br />responsibility. School officials shall handle matters involving school disciplinary matters <br />of students, which are of a non -criminal nature. However, if the principal or his or her <br />designee believes that an incident rises to the level of a violation of the law, the principal <br />or his or her designee is to contact the assigned SRO. The SRO shall then determine <br />whether law enforcement action is appropriate. The SR.O is encouraged to seek <br />consultation with his or her agency supervisor in any matter or situation he/she deems <br />appropriate. <br />f. In all situations wherein the assigned SRO contemplates criminal charges involving <br />any employee of the SCHOOL BOARD or a student's arrest for a felony occurring on the <br />school grounds during the school day, the matter shall be brought to the attention of the <br />Safety and Security Captain and his/her assigned agency supervisor, as well as the <br />Principal. <br />g. To the extent allowed by law and as practicable, both parties agree to give advance <br />notice to the other and the opportunity for input prior to the release of any press release, <br />media statements, or social media post on all matters related to law enforcement actions <br />taken on school grounds or dealing with SCHOOL BOARD students or faculty. <br />h. All body worn camera recordings captured by AGENCY's SROs within the <br />schools remain the property and work product of the law enforcement agency. Any <br />requests made to the SCHOOL BOARD by a third party for copies of video recordings <br />shall be referred to the AGENCY's Records Division for handling in accordance with <br />Florida law. The AGENCY and SCHOOL BOARD further agree that if equipped with <br />the use of a body worn camera, then the camera operation is part of the SRO's uniform. It <br />is the intention of this Agreement that within the school setting, the body worn cameras <br />will only be used when taking law enforcement action, or as otherwise authorized by the <br />AGENCY'S policy. <br />0 <br />
