[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RJ and removing SROs seem like a step in the right direction for MCPS. THe real problem appears to be that MCPD isn't doing its job.[/quote]

This shows complete unawareness of what's happening.  With now SROs, MCPS is 100% responsible for student safety.   And they are failing.  There is no job for MCPD to do if they can't be in the schools engaging in prevention.

On the contrary, MCPD is still responsible for enforcing laws in the county. That never changed. MCPS is responsible for educating students. [/quote]

You can't have education in an unsafe situation.   MCPS is 100% responsible for safety on its grounds.    They have made police reactive rather than preventive.   It's all on them.

I agree as long as “them” is the council council and Elrich. MCPD can’t do anything to help the schools when the politicians decided to keep MCPD out. To the posters blaming school violence on MCPD: you’re just being silly. [/quote]
No, they are being purposefully dumb, or maybe they are really this dumb, and want to blame MCPD for everything, when it was Elrich and his progressive minions who took that power away from MCPD.[/quote]

So you think King Elrich can forbid the police from doing their jobs? He simply removed SROs from the schools. MCPD are still responsible for enforcing laws in Montgomery county just like its MCPS job to educate children.[/quote]

Can you explain how you think this worked? So SROs were removed, so they weren’t IN the schools to see the problems. Police, therefore, could only show up if MCPS called them. It’s hard to enforce rules and laws when you aren’t allowed to be in the halls.

CEO 2.0 should correct this. Let’s not pretend for a short second that this is MCPD’s fault, no matter how it might be spinned. Yes, this falls on Elrich and the council. Period. [/quote]

All I know is that people here claim there's all this crime at Montgomery county schools. So I can't help but wonder why the people responsible for policing crime in our county , MCPD, aren't doing anything about it?[/quote]

This isn’t hard. I just explained it to you. The county Exec, against the wishes of 100% of school principals, removed SROs. That meant the police did not have a proactive presence on the schools. Because he did that, the police would only be involved in school crimes if the school actually called… and it would be 100% reactive. This is on the politicians, not on the police. The politicians removed the police. It’s that simple. [/quote]

So you believe there's only one phone in the entire school? There are tons of cell phones. Honestly, if people on DCUM seem to know about these crimes, I'm sure MCPD does too unless they're being willfully ignorant.[/quote]

I don't feel your ignorance is willful.[/quote]
