| A lot of people retire from Law Enforcement and then continue working. |

Putting police back in public schools. |

| Hope he stays longer than the previous former police officer they hired to head the security office. |

Current head is not a former police office. |

| As a staff member and a parent, I like this a lot. I hope he’s able to make a positive change for safer schools. |

She's the acting chief safety officer; her predecessor was former DC police assistant chief Pamela Wheeler-Taylor, who left after a few months. |

| I wonder if this was already in the works when he announced his plan to retire. |

| Interesting that they changed the chief title to Chief of Security and Compliance. Does that suggest that DCI will report to Jones? |

Of course it was. MoCo is corrupt. |

+1 As a staff member I would really like to see better training of security personnel in simply how they manage school entry, monitor the building, and interact with students. There is a lot of inconsistency among security personnel right now. |

You actually believe Marcus applied for the job and won the position fairly? It was held for him and there was not a competitive application process. |
