assigned by an employing law enforcement agency to work

collaboratively with one or more schools using community-oriented

policing concepts.

2. If a law enforcement agency that serves the area in which a

school district is located is unwilling or unable to provide a law

enforcement officer described in paragraph 1 of this subsection, a

participating school district may employ or contract with a retired

law enforcement officer or an armed security guard who is licensed

require a background check on the individual. The law enforcement

agency that serves the area in which the school district is located

shall allow an authorized individual employed or contracted with the

pursuant to this paragraph, and a police band radio system which may

be used by the individual in the performance of his or her duties to

be paid for by the employing district. A school district may use

funds from the School Security Revolving Fund created pursuant to

Section 5-148.2 of this title to cover the cost of the radio system.
