SROs have been found not be detrimental with younger kids. They are more likely to act inappropriately and more aggressively where it is not needed. [/quote]

Ok can you please start a petition to make sure that MCPS trains their social workers to break up fights? Because the social workers at our school don't do that. [/quote]

You don’t want fights broken up by security guards and the cops stationed outside the school.

You want someone to call the counselor’s office?[/quote]

There are no cops permanently stationed outside of our school. If that's what you want, then why are you against SROs?[/quote]

I am for cops being assigned schools and can respond within 5 minutes. Day work is slow it’s not that complicated.

Btw many SROs were assigned more than 1 school so not even close enough to respond sometimes.

I am against SRO’s because they were involved in discipline which is inappropriate and not in their job description. I also know some SRO’s would give investigators information on students when looking for criminals and more often than not innocent kids were targeted as criminals because the SROs had a “feeling” and did not go with evidence. That’s straight up bad policing.[/quote]

5 minutes with a fight or active shooter is too long to wait.  Yes, you get bad SRO's.  You also get bad administrators, teachers and other staff as well.  You also get great ones.  However, as a teacher, if you could handle this yourself, then why aren't you and why are we having an increase these past few months in violent issues and OD's?

Bad policing is an issue but it's separate from having SRO's in the schools.  [/quote]

SROs never responded in less than 5 minutes. The weren’t always at the school. They didn’t have backup on sick days. They were assigned multiple schools. It was an ineffective model and the new model is clearly more effective at identifying and catching criminals.[/quote]

Sounds like a good argument for more, not less.  [/quote]
