Make your voices heard if you want SROs back

Also, if you don't want SROs back.

I'd rather keep people with guns out of schools. SROs make schools less safe.

Agree if people wanted school safety, they'd push for common-sense gun reforms that the GOP consistently blocks.

what makes you think people aren't doing that?

We can do both: push for gun reforms and have SROs? MCPS doesn't have to be a one trick pony.

This person is a one trick pony. MCPS has no control over gun laws and even if they put in more gun laws, the guns are already on the street and people ca 3-d print them. So, we need both. However, the question is why can MCPS do about keeping our students and staff safe. Hire more security, bring back SRO's, security camera's, metal and other detectors to start with. Then, start suspending and expelling violent kids.

SROs which are now actually Community Engagement Officers are not going to be coming back anytime soon. There is a shortage of MPD Patrol officers so let’s think differently about ideas to help.

Wow - it is almost like the police have been defunded, demoralized, hobbled, denigrated, demonized by one party for years, threatened with prosecution for doing their jobs, etc.

Almost.

Seriously…. This is where you decided to take this. One could say it’s almost like the police have used and abused their position of authority against many people for years, essentially abandoning the rule of law to which they were sworn to uphold. For years people kept saying this was true and complaining but were dismissed until video after video after and investigation after investigation surfaced proving the complaints were true.

Now that we’ve dispensed with the BS and understand that there are bad apples and good apples in all things can we actually focus on solutions that work with where we are in this reality.

And yet the SROs are still banned from schools, as MCPS descends into violent chaos. That is the reality you created for our children.

A) I didn’t create a reality for our children. If anything folks abhorrent behavior did that, B) CEOs are not banned from schools they respond according to the MOU with MoCo PD, C)There is other security staff present in schools, and D) People don’t to join the PD and other civil servant jobs (ex teachers) because the requirements and expectations are significantly higher than the salary.

Ahhh yes, the Jawando approach. Blame MCPD for the ills and sins of police officers in other states and jurisdictions. Demonize our department. You mention good apples and I smirked. That’s not what we do here. Here, the council treats them all as bad apples. The PP before you was spot on.

Agree completely.

Jawando and the other “social justice warriors” in the greater DC area have passed policies which directly caused the massive crime-wave we are experiencing.

Who is paying the price? Our families and especially our kids, as violence in school gets worse every day.

I know! SROs could taser the kids who are cutting class. That will show them. Well until a kid with an automatic weapon shows up then it will be like Uvalde all over again.

My kids' schools are plenty safe. Sure, there are some minor scuffles once in a while, but nothing to worry about. I'm far more concerned about the lack of focus on education and how the county has been focusing 98% of its efforts on the lowest-performing quartile while neglecting everyone else.

My kids say there was a scuffle at their school once. It really doesn't sound all that serious. I have to wonder if the social INjustice warriors are trying to hype these issues to further their political agenda.

How much of this has to do with the fact that, beginning in the 2015-16 school year, students in Maryland could no longer drop out of school at age 16? Do we just have lots of 16-18 year olds wandering the halls and getting into trouble because they don’t want to be there at all, and in previous years would have just dropped out?

Could be. HS are too crowded in the thousands, ridiculous.

I think you will agree with me that the so-called “social justice” / Jawando approach had been a complete and utter failure.

And those paying the price for the SJW’s misguided and dangerous approach have been our children, who have been unwittingly thrust into a hostile learning environment.

Don’t you agree that the best practice at present would be to toss out these sorts of people from their decision-making capacities and return to a more sane approach of disciplining those children who are unable to abide by simple rules of decorum and good behavior in school?
