[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly, police (including SROs) have the power to arrest students and use the students’ statements against them in a criminal trial (or other legal proceeding). As a special needs student parent, I am afraid ACPS staff (especially ACPS security) will involve APD (including a SRO when my child enters middle school) in a disciplinary issue and interrogated my child with giving me notice to make sure my child’s rights are protected.[/quote] That's a legitimate fear, but on the other hand, as a parent of a student with disabilities that often affect his social interactions with others, I would like the school to have unarmed security officers, vs. armed police officers, to protect him in the event that he is a target.[/quote] I agree. ACPS removing SROs does not mean it will not have unarmed security officers (which they have already in all schools to my knowledge).[/quote]
