MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Purpose

acknowledge School Police's responsibility regarding events on or near (generally, within 1000')
school campuses within the City of San Bernardino,
Background

their employment. Additionally, the School Police Department is approved by the California

Department complies with Department of Justice (D.O.J.) reporting guidelines for those crimes
investigated by the Department.
The San Bernardino City Unified School District's Board of Education established this police
department to be the responding agency with respect to crimes occurring on property belonging
to or adjacent to, or under the control of, the School District at any time of the day or night as
well as:
. Crimes committed by or against students of this District, having a nexus to school
attendance or activity, occurring within the boundaries of the District during school
hours.
. Crimes committed by or against students of this District, occurring one hour before or
one hour after normal school hours/activities, provided that the students are directly
enroute to or from their residence or school of attendance,

. The School Police Department has the responsibility for notifying the appropriate
official at the affected school( s), who will take appropriate action to lessen any
potential risk to staff and students,
. School Police or any other school employees/administrators so notified will maintain
the confidentiality of police operation until its completion or until otherwise notified.
. The San Bernardino Police Department will advise the School Police upon completion
of the operation, or when the potential risk to students is eliminated.
. Recognizing that the School Police Department may have a contingent of police
officers who could be on any school campus at any hour of the day or night, the San
Bernardino Police Department will make a concerted effort to notify School Police
before beginning any tactical operation at a school site or district property.
Mutual Aid
Officers of both police departments will provide mutual aid in all appropriate situations. Both
agencies agree to exchange reports and information to facilitate investigations and other police
functions.
The School Police Department will normally conduct follow-up investigations on all
incidents/crimes falling within their jurisdiction, to include:

. Evidence collection, preservation, storage, etc.
. Filing cases with the District Attorney's office and/or Probation
