Most suburban schools do not have metal detectors.[/quote]

Most suburban schools didn’t remove their SROs and  proudly tell the whole world that they had done so. [/quote]

Most schools didn't have SROs to begin with.

They did in the DMV!  For decades![/quote]

Fat lot of good it did. I remember the stabbing at WJ. Also, my former BIL’s drug addiction began at Churchill where there were multiple choices in which classmate to buy coke from.[/quote]

And there is the pesky truth about the SRO program. We can always see what an SRO failed to prevent, but it is much harder to quantify the good that they do. I've worked with 4 amazing SROs throughout my career. They genuinely cared about the students and formed strong relationships. They became trusted, reliable resources and the community was grateful they were there. I witnessed one pull a knife from my student simply by calmly talking to him.

You can't tell the small but very loud anti-SRO groiup this, however. [/quote]

The pesky truth about SRO programs is that they don't improve school safety but do increase the criminalization of school discipline.[/quote]
