8. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH TUSTIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE TUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT The Tustin Police Department and Tustin Unified School District have developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a public safety partnership that allows the Tustin Police Department limited access to selected existing School District surveillance cameras through the Fusus platform. The partnership is intended to improve situational awareness and the efficiency of emergency response at School District schools and facilities. During an emergency, authorized Tustin Police Department personnel may access designated camera feeds to gather real time intelligence, provide responding officers with timely information, support a safer and more efficient response, and assist with identifying and mitigating known threats to students, staff, school facilities, and the surrounding community. The School District retains ownership and control of its camera system and video information, and Tustin Police Department access is limited to the public safety purposes and circumstances established in the MOU. Recommendation: 1. To receive and file the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Tustin, on behalf of the Tustin Police Department, and the Tustin Unified School District regarding public safety video sharing through the Fusus platform. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing this report. Under the MOU, costs associated with Tustin Police Department owned Fusus hardware, including installation, maintenance, repair, operation, and removal, are the responsibility of the Tustin Police Department. Any School District network infrastructure or equipment improvements determined necessary for compatibility with the Fusus System are at the School District's discretion and responsibility.
