equipment funds, and personnel costs are provided through the Crime Control & Prevention District

FWPD completes an annual "true up" of the actual charges. Once the City's annual fiscal audit is
complete, any variances between the contract amount and the actuals are applied back to the school
on the next contract and may increase or decrease the new contract amount. Note that such
adjustments are two fiscal years in arrears. Therefore, the adjustments for FY2023 are included in
the FY2025 contracts.
During the term of these contracts, from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, each
participant will have a set number of officers assigned to them as shown in the following table.
Payments from the participating school districts and the Lena Pope Home shall be rendered to the
City on a monthly basis and deposited into a CCPD account. The total expected reimbursement
amount is $8,539,695.26.
