[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Statistically, SROs rarely of any benefit.[b] Both Parkland and Uvalde had SROs present and that didn't help matters.

Most experts believe they actually make things worse, and their presence escalates or increases the death toll.[/quote]

SROs have been criticized for not effectively addressing discipline issues and creating a negative school environment, leading to higher rates of criminalization and arrests for minor offenses, and having a limited positive impact on school safety.[/quote]

It's not their job to discipline.  That is the job of the administration and teachers and PARENTS.

How about all the positive things SRO's do every day.  Clearly it was safer in years past with SRO's.[/quote]

Tell that to Tyre Nichols. :( So much police violence these days. I'd hesitate to have them near my children.[/quote]

I doubt my kids would feel safe either around police. Police against minorities does not appear to be getting better.[/quote]
Weren't those cops black men?[/quote]

Yes. So all cops are threatening.[/quote]
