[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a petition to keep schools SRO free?[/quote]

It's the status quo and I dont' think there are any proposals (by Council members) to add them back in. Why would there be a petition in favor of the status quo when there are no firm proposals to change it?[/quote]

With the regressive pushing so hard to turn schools into prisons I want to show my support for keeping schools safe and SRO free.[/quote]

And, how do you propose that?[/quote]

Start a petition to keep schools free from people with guns?[/quote]

Think the students with guns will agree?

There are already rules against weapons in school buildings, yet students bring them.

Are you really suggesting no adults with guns?

See, I feel better with well-trained adults holding them. I don’t care for the idea of ghost guns and other weapons in the hands of children. [/quote]

The students w/ guns know about SROs and bring bigger and nastier guns because of their presence. Not to mention they are reluctant to do anything when things get rough like with Parkland or Uvalde. This is exactly why the research shows that SROs make schools less safe.[/quote]

Do you have a citation for any of this, specifically your reference above that MCPD is “reluctant to do anything when things get rough.” I’ve seen absolutely no evidence that is true, and I’m fairly confident you won’t be able to produce any.

Is your suggestion that we continue to allow students to bring in guns, but restrict police from doing the same? Because that’s simply not a solution.

The logical choice would be to have SROs as part of a broad network focusing on student safety, including counselors and other professionals. But we let political ideologies dictate decisions instead of logic in MoCo.[/quote]
