My school had a recent gun scare and all classes had to shelter in place until the police arrived. Apparently, students claimed their classmate had a visible gun in their bag. They told their teacher at the start of class. The teacher had to notify the office, who had to call administrators, who then called the police. Luckily, the student turned out to not have a gun. However, that child, his teacher, and his classmates were locked in the classroom for about 20 minutes. That’s how long it took for police to arrive on scene. If we had an SRO, he would’ve been at the classroom in minutes to handle the situation.

This.

Schools have SROs

Not MCPS. We have CEOs. They don't have the same acting capacity as SROs.

Yes, the CEOs got the job done safely which is exactly the goal.SROs at least in places like Parkland weren't helpful.

Exactly! The incident was handled perfectly… what is the issue here?

We actually don’t have enough information to know if this was handled perfectly. We do know it didn’t end tragically, but it easily could have.

Actually the older report said he wasn’t a student but Washington post says he is so I believe wapo.

Thats why quick reporting is not always great.

It’s not only the same it’s the exactly the same humans.

They have an office now in the school
So they can be in the school instead of in their car.

No, it isn't. They can't walk the halls. They are relegated to an office space.

When there is an active shooter in the school, an SRO who walks the halls can react faster than a CEO who is sitting in an office.

And I guarantee that if there is an active shooter in the school, you will not be thinking that an SRO is useless. You will be thinking "where are the cops; they should be walking the halls, and I hope the SRO is not like the Uvalde cops who were all fired for dereliction of duty", rather than "I'm glad we don't have SROs because Uvalde..".

That’s untrue.

They can discipline… they can walk the halls.

When writing reports they are in an office, they use to sit in their car.

The issue is that we keep having more and more guns in school, and that's scary AF for everyone, and that an SRO who walks the halls can be more effective than a CEO who sits in a office.

Um.. ok, so why are they called CEOs rather than SROs? What is the difference? Is the renaming just to make the progressives feel better about it? Or is there some difference?

CEO’s cant discipline they can only get involved in crimes.


SROs could discipline kids at will even when they had not committed a crime and SROs were not trained in normal teen development. Like they could discipline a student for dragging his backpack instead of carrying it because they thought it was rude. They could stop them, stand them up against the wall, question them and correct them.., for dragging their backpack. (This is a real incident)
