[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]

So there were SROs at both the Parkland and Uvalde school massacres and they did nothing?[/quote]
There was security and that didn't help, either. Should we get rid of all security at all MCPS schools?[/quote]

Security guards have not shown to be dangerous to students.[/quote]
