The new model will be that you can call the CEO directly but that part has not been implemented yet. If you can’t text your front office and get the CEO you should report that. Starting Fall 21 CEO’s were back in schools the same way SRO were. Also students can approach CEO’s if they want. CEO’s are just not allowed to create fake relationship with students to purposely narc on them to investigators they have to live by the same privacy rules teachers do unless it’s a criminal investigation. Again: I have a very novel experience with security in schools as well as cities, events, sports events, and govt buildings. |
You say you have experience with “security,” not with SROs. Your language also shows extreme bias (“fake relationships,” “purposefully narc”). The combination of the two demonstrates we have nothing further to discuss. I’ve worked with too many amazing SROs to entertain this any further. |
CEOs are not in schools (other than maybe Damascus) and have not been for almost 2 years now. It's part of the reason we have increased weapons and overdoses. |
You are extremely misinformed. |
It's been shown that SROs actually increase the number of these weapons incidents, which is the opposite of what you're claiming. |
Please explain to me how the SROs on site at parkland and uvalde helped? |
It has been shown that people who know how to do literature reviews don’t cherry pick individual studies. It has also been shown that most people on DCUM apparently don’t get that association is not causation. |
They didn’t do their jobs. And were fired for it. Simple as that. |
I don’t need to because that holds no bearing on my argument. Repeating the same tired mantra doesn’t help your argument, either. |
DP with a different point of view, but I agree with you on the last point....and it goes both ways. Those who are claiming the recent rise in incidents in MCPS is BECAUSE there are no SROs also do not understand the concept. |
I am stunned that you keep using the same argument over and over again with no shame. |
Our schools don’t need to look or feel like prisons. |
I want a safe learning environment for my students and for myself. One SRO does not make a school look like a prison. The SROs did a great job being part of the community. |
I work with schools, police and SRO’s. I know SRO’s are good people who try to do good things. I think it’s a good change that SRO’s can’t try to form relationships with students who don’t want it but if your student wants to they can. They only responding to crimes and do not disturb teachers who are disciplining and can’t give “hunches” to investigators only facts. I think these are great changes. You only see one side of SROs l, I see both sides. It’s okay if you don’t like the changes, but the facts is that SROs are still in schools, they are called CEOs and there are a few changes to stop false arrests (which happened more than anybody wanted). |
I’m glad to hear the new SRO program works for you. |
