[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School resource officers provide services, think about school fights, illegal activities, etc. In any other aspect of our society we would send someone like a resource officer or public safety aid to handle a dispute between two individuals, we would not send them to deescalate an active shooter. Just because they are in the school for safety does not mean they are the appropriate official to resolve the situation If you want someone to protect children against shooters, hire more adequate security.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. They are sworn law enforcement officers. They are [i]precisely [/i]the right people to act as first responders to stop (or at least distract) an active shooter. It frigging says so in the SRO guide!

[quote]SROs, as part of their law enforcement role, also bring into the school setting expertise in school and public safety. They assist school administrators in developing school crisis, emergency management, and medical emergency response plans. [b]They are likely to serve as a first responder in the event of critical incidents such as serious accidents, fires, explosions, shootings,[/b] and other life-threatening events. [/quote][/quote]
