Chico Redding, CA, October 15, 2026 —
Chico schools are considering a proposal to add up to four resource officers, with community members providing input on the idea.
The proposal is under consideration; the information available does not say whether the schools have made a decision. It also does not specify how many officers, if any, would ultimately be added. The wording of the proposal sets a maximum of four new officers.
Community members are weighing in, but details about how that input is being gathered, what views have been expressed, or how it will factor into a decision were not provided. The available information does not identify the schools or officials involved, name the resource officers, or describe their proposed duties.
Other details remain unspecified, including the proposal’s cost, a possible funding source, any implementation schedule, and whether the plan has been formally presented or approved. No information was provided about the current number of resource officers in Chico schools or the reasons behind the proposal.
For now, the known elements are limited: Chico schools are considering adding as many as four resource officers, and community members are offering input. The proposal’s outcome and the next steps have not been provided.
