[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically, SROs rarely of any benefit.[b] Both Parkland and Uvalde had SROs present and that didn't help matters.
[/b]
Most experts believe they actually make things worse, and their presence escalates or increases the death toll

So there were SROs at both the Parkland and Uvalde school massacres and they did nothing?

I'm curious about this too. [/quote]

Since SROs aren't of any help in a school shooting what good are they exactly? Also, with all the police incidents like the recent one with Tyre Nichols is this really a good idea?
[/quote]
dp.. security guards didn't stop the shootings, either. Should they be removed, too?

Some cops are terrible, that doesn't mean all cops are. A lot of the troublemaker kids in school are URM. Does that make all URM kids bad? Should we kick them all out?[/quote]

Security guards have not show to contribute to the negative affects on students. Except the ones on PG with arrest powers do they got rid of them.[/quote]
Kids who are violent and do drugs do have negative effects on kids. Why don't we kick them out?

Also, someone keeps posting about the security guard who had sex with a student on campus.. seems like we should kick them all out just in case they all have sex with the kids on campus.[/quote]

Well, if they're assaulting others or using controlled substances this isn't an MCPS matter, but a police matter and there are places for people who break these laws.[/quote]
Yes, an SRO in the school would help with this situation.

Police will respond more quickly when a cop calls more so than when a security guard or school admin calls.[/quote]

You realize there are still SROs called CEOs and they are on school grounds.[/quote]
Unlike SROs, the CEOs aren't permanently stationed in a particular school.  They rotate, and don't interact at all with students.  Some of the SROs would engage with the students to create bonds and become mentors.  There are some bad SROs, as there are some bad teachers, clergy, etc.. But don't make sweeping generalizations about a group because you wouldn't like it if people did that to certain other groups.[/quote]

[b]You made a sweeping generalization that they built relationships.[/b]

CEOs are in school, they are sworn officers, they can still create relationships with students. They just are not allowed to discipline students.[/quote]

But the survey done by PG county said over 80% of students had positive interactions with their SRO and felt safer with them there.  MCPS has never done surveys

I know the office that is assigned to our cluster is amazing and works great with the students.  He is just rarely there because he has 8 schools in the cluster and the 2 middle schools need just as much help as the high school. [/quote]

MCPS did not decrease the number of SRO’s.

1st your like .. bring back STOs then when you find out they are still there and you act like they aren’t. Just say, my bad I didn’t realize they still had SROs. But you just can’t admit you were uninformed.[/quote]

Again ..you really need to work on your reading or interpretation skills. There ARE no SROs in MCPS. Yes there are CEOs but they are not the same.[/quote]
