Summary:
The Agreement is to provide one (1) Police Resource Instructor (PRI) for the Olathe School District to assist the 21st Century Public Safety Academy at Olathe West High School. The Police Resource Instructor will provide a variety of educational opportunities to the Academy students while providing a positive law enforcement presence in the school community.

This relationship may increase future recruitment opportunities with individuals that have prepared for a career in law enforcement since high school as well as increasing City stewardship within the community.
It is expected that the Olathe School District will pay the City of Olathe seventy-five percent (75%) of program costs related to salary and benefits for one (1) Police Resource Instructor for the 2025-2026 school year. The City of Olathe is expected to pay twenty-five percent (25%) of program costs related to salary and benefits for one (1) Police Resource Instructor for the 2025-2026 school year.
