[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bye bye SROs. Easy answer.., no police SROs in school... replace them with trained psychologists![/quote] But these weren’t SROs, right? I think they would be more equipped to handle something like this.[/quote] SROs tend to be in a situation of intentionally blurring boundaries between "role model", educator and law enforcement officer. It was these officers apparent failure to respect boundaries that was the cause of the problem. I think SROs are a continuation of this problem. The real core issue is that policing nowadays is about training cops to be hammers and treating every situation like a nail. Schools would be better off hiring a staff member responsible for "safety" but with no law enforcement training or background. They could then address school safety holistically, pedestrian issues, access, running in halls, playground, support for teachers/staff with unruly behavior, etc.[/quote]
