# Alabaster Approves Shelby County SRO Funding

On November 9, 2026, Alabaster approved a fiscal year 2027 agreement with Shelby County for **$35,442.68** toward the city’s school resource officer (SRO) program. The contribution will offset, but not cover, costs for Alabaster’s eight SROs. The announcement describes intergovernmental funding support, not an open solicitation or a new vendor award.

- For local procurement and budget staff, the agreement is a funding contribution to account for in planning SRO program costs; it does not cover the full expense of the eight officers.
- Contractors should not interpret this announcement as a near-term bid opportunity: no solicitation, vendor, or procurement process is identified.
