The CCD was first adopted by voters in 1996.

Unless renewed, it will expire in 2030.

6:08

By virtue of its construct, the majority of CCD is funded by sales tax.

6:13

Of note, 16% is funded through cost sharing with Birdville ISD related to our SRO program.

6:20

On the expenditure side, the majority of CCD expenses live in uniform patrol.

This is consistent with CCD's focus on crime control and prevention.

6:30

31% of expenditures reside in our community resources division and are associated with our SRO program.

6:37

Remaining expenses are somewhat evenly split between criminal investigations and technical services, which includes our dispatch and detention sections.

6:48

There

Speaker 4

6:49

are a few proposed additions in the CCD fund this year.

6:52

One of those involves our campus officer program.

6:55

This program was adopted in fiscal year 25 in response to House Bill 3, which was passed by the 88th state legislature and required school districts to enact several security enhancements to include the presence of an armed police officer at each school campus.

7:12

At the onset of this legislation, we were not staffing the elementary campuses within our city limits,

Unassigned speaker

7:17

and

Speaker 4

7:17

we were challenged with how to best accomplish this.

7:19

In response, we developed our campus officer program.

7:24

This unique staffing model allows us to staff our elementary campuses with capable and professional police officers while minimizing impact to the city budget.

7:33

These officers work an abbreviated schedule in conjunction with the Birdville school calendar,

Unassigned speaker

7:39

and

Speaker 4

7:39

Birdville reimburses us for approximately 80% of overall cost.
