Most suburban schools do not have metal detectors.

Most suburban schools didn’t remove their SROs and proudly tell the whole world that they had done so.

Most schools didn't have SROs to begin with.

Fat lot of good it did. I remember the stabbing at WJ. Also, my former BIL’s drug addiction began at Churchill where there were multiple choices in which classmate to buy coke from.

I think random stop and frisk with a wand (no touching) would be better personally. Just like when they bring in the drug sniffing dogs randomly.

I don’t understand this. Why didn’t they just put the drugs in their pocket? Were they being frisked every morning when they walked in?

Deliveries come during the day from friends dropping by school. This is a well-known phenomenon.

That is not a regular occurrence in well run high schools with principals who know when to be tough and when to be flexible. Theere would never be propped open windows and doors in schools where I've worked. For one thing, windows were locked tight. Cameras in office that keep surveillance on every door. Teachers in hallways between class changes. Police officer in every high school. Rapport building activities between students and staff. Adults have to swipe badge or show ID before entering only one door-- front door

My mcps middle school used metal detectors back in the day. It was temporary when a number of boys were bringing weapons (not guns) to school & threats of violence were high. We came through one entrance near the bus loop & I don't remember it taking that long. It wasn't single file. Similar to getting into a concert.

Ghost guns render them useless. The only thing metal detectors will help, are the companies who make and sell them

they didn’t remove them. They just changed their name/title to something else.

And there is the pesky truth about the SRO program. We can always see what an SRO failed to prevent, but it is much harder to quantify the good that they do. I've worked with 4 amazing SROs throughout my career. They genuinely cared about the students and formed strong relationships. They became trusted, reliable resources and the community was grateful they were there. I witnessed one pull a knife from my student simply by calmly talking to him.

You can't tell the small but very loud anti-SRO groiup this, however.

The violent victimization rate of Black and brown kids is 100 times higher than the arrest rate. Nobody cares about kids actually getting hurt.

The pesky truth about SRO programs is that they don't improve school safety but do increase the criminalization of school discipline.

And, yet, when they were removed, more incidents happened.

Ya like the Parkland SRO that ran away rather than help the kids.

The far right has never been down with public education and would prefer to turn it into a dention facility.

Super liberal here and a huge supporter of SROs. Perhaps the difference is I’ve actually met them and worked with them, so I didn’t have to believe what the council and Exec were selling about them.

I support public education and I think our students deserve safe schools. I also believe county residents should have had a say. Representative government should represent the community, not the 3 (yes, 3) students in the focus group quoted to remove them.
