"The 25 homicides recorded so far this year in Montgomery County already exceed last year’s total – 19 – by 32%."

So we took the SROs out of schools, reassigned them to the streets (meaning more officers on the streets), and we still had more homicides (none of which occurred inside school buildings)? It's almost like there's something going on this year that is separate from taking SROs out of schools.

This wouldn't have happened if we hadn't taken the SROs out of the schools! Or something.

Where do you get that from? More police didn't stop the homicides.

Since the anti-SRO crowd believes correlation equals causation we should all be scared of what would happen if we increased police in schools since clearly more police means more homicides.

And what does that have to do with SROs in schools?
In fact since they're not in schools, they should be on the beat fighting crimes but it seems like they are not doing a good job at that either.
Worthless anywhere

Recently, there are a number of local and nation wide violence attacks against students. Here are two quick examples.

It sounds the time to put our student safety first.

Thanks,

Is this that SRO non-sense?

I support Elirch and Jawando. They seem to be handling these things fine without the prison guards at school.

Sounds that both of you are hungry for blood in schools. Hiking homicides in big cities demonstrated what will happen in a dense community w/o sufficient law enforcement. It is a pity that most of MC and MCPS leaders do not live in the communities with high crime rates nor attend a high school. Complete senseless.

Cops don't stop crime in schools. If you want fast response put them in the parking lots waiting for a call.

This is the approach now. Cops remain close to the schools/school community through tout the school day. I’m only familiar with the incident at Blair (because that’s where my kid is), and cops were at the school immediately.

If you believe that you are way out of touch and never chose to learn what an SRO does. They don’t patrol the hallways looking for someone to arrest. The best practice is to be visible during the change of classes and at lunch. It doesn’t take long before students build up a relationship with the officer. They tell him things that they’d never tell a staff member.

What you’re describing is the role that security guards fill in the high schools, and the security guards are still in all of the high schools. I’m not sure of the exact number of security personnel there is at my kid’s school (5 or 6, I would guess) and they are very immersed in the school community and know the students.

Sh*t is crazy right now, the kids have not “bounced back”, lots of kids have lost family members to Covid.

I see a cop parked in the Magruder High school parking lot almost every other day.

Let's put the National Guard in all schools.

I want the SROs to stay out and just call the police every time there is an incident.


It was too easy for schools and SROs to sweep things under the rug. Get some of these violent kids out of schools and into detention or prison.
