If that's done by SROs, fine. If MCPS security gain expanded powers and jurisdiction to do some of the things SROs used to do, great. But the schools must be a safe, secure environment.

I agree but it wasn’t safe with SROs and security.

A lot safer when we had SROs. Since SROs were removed, the calls for cops have increased dramatically.

Exactly how it should work. Success!

So you didn't want SROs because too many kids were being reported to SROs (cops) but now that the number of cops being called to the schools for the same reason has increased, it's ok? Hold on while I scratch my head for a few minutes.

Oh no, it's much less safe with SROs. You need to educate yourself.

It’s working because cops are only getting involved in crime at school and they’re not hanging around school harassing kids.

Do you realize that when SROs were around, crime was lower than they are now? When SROs were around they actually mitigated issues that otherwise would've resulted in an arrest? Without SROs, more kids are actually getting charged of crime.

oh yea, my RM kids have felt safer this past month without the SROs with the lockdown and guns on campus.

They feel safer when they see the cops around .

SROs have been found not be detrimental with younger kids. They are more likely to act inappropriately and more aggressively where it is not needed.

Ok can you please start a petition to make sure that MCPS trains their social workers to break up fights? Because the social workers at our school don't do that.

You don’t want fights broken up by security guards and the cops stationed outside the school.

You want someone to call the counselor’s office?

There are no cops permanently stationed outside of our school. If that's what you want, then why are you against SROs?

I am for cops being assigned schools and can respond within 5 minutes. Day work is slow it’s not that complicated.

Btw many SROs were assigned more than 1 school so not even close enough to respond sometimes.

I am against SRO’s because they were involved in discipline which is inappropriate and not in their job description. I also know some SRO’s would give investigators information on students when looking for criminals and more often than not innocent kids were targeted as criminals because the SROs had a “feeling” and did not go with evidence. That’s straight up bad policing.

5 minutes with a fight or active shooter is too long to wait. Yes, you get bad SRO's. You also get bad administrators, teachers and other staff as well. You also get great ones. However, as a teacher, if you could handle this yourself, then why aren't you and why are we having an increase these past few months in violent issues and OD's?

Bad policing is an issue but it's separate from having SRO's in the schools.

Why are SROs always bullying kids and is it a good idea for them to be bringing guns into schools?

Actually, when SRO’s were around less criminals were caught. I guess sitting in the school, eating snacks with the teachers was not in effective form of identifying crime outside the school.

So now what you’re saying is you do not want criminals arrested ? You don’t want cops to stop the threat outside the school before it enters?

You are mad because teachers and administrators have formed a relationship with Montgomery County Police and they feel comfortable calling for help.

Sounds like you don’t know what you want.

SROs never responded in less than 5 minutes. The weren’t always at the school. They didn’t have backup on sick days. They were assigned multiple schools. It was an ineffective model and the new model is clearly more effective at identifying and catching criminals.

That would be you that's confused. We're talking about crime IN school, babe. Crime IN school has gone up since SROs were removed.

No criminal caught has gone up, hon, which show just his ineffective SROs we’re.

Crime isn't up just some troll posting about it incessantly to help drum up support for their pet cause.

No the PP was correct. SROs statistically do little to deter crime in schools and more often than not it's been shown they make matters worse. The right like the head of the NRA is always pushing this as a solution when in fact the only way to get guns out of schools is common sense gun reforms
