[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on training.  In our elementary the SRO is better trained in de-escalation than our special ed staff.  They offered to testify against the faculty for inappropriate restraints used on autistic kids.

I work in education and have seen multiple SROs deal "ineffectually" at best with younger and special needs children.
