[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SRO's are not wanted because they are required to involve police in matters which the school want to keep things hush hush.  The more arrests, assaults, etc... the worse the school looks.  Now do I think teachers and staff want them?  Yes.  Does administration and central?  Absolutely not [/quote]

This is so true.  Do you know a MCPS school is not mandated to contact the police when there is a rape on campus?  Right now schools are barely contacting police for things police should be contacted for. [/quote]
Interesting question. CPS mandatory reporting could be involved. Title IX gets involved. But MCPS is explicitly not a crime fighting agency.[/quote]

CPS only gets involved with rapes inside the home or family environment.  For a rape at school, its the police.[/quote]

Absolutely incorrect. Underage rapes are reported to CPS by MCPS within 24hrs - mandated, but the school rarely calls the police. Trust me. The police tend to only hear about them if the victim’s family reports or CPS eventually lets them know. If a SRO is on the campus, it is much better for the victim. Most school’s administration will hush as much as possible. [/quote]

CPS doesn't handle school rapes.  They handle rape within the home.  [/quote]

My husband works for the police and you are wrong.  CPS have to be told.  They don't come in the school. But MCPS is required to notify CPS but not the police.  It's insane [/quote]

Notifying is different from them handling the case.  [/quote]
