[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't want SRO's what is  your solution to  what is going on in the schools? I want my kids safe.[/quote]

Yeah, I want my kids safe, too. This response illustrates the problem. It feels intolerable to do nothing and so we want to rush to do Something, even if that Something has been proven to be worse than doing nothing. There is not an easy answer to this and that is the horrible truth. I'm not advocating giving up but soothing our anxieties with knee jerk solutions is not the way forward.[/quote]

SROs aren’t knee jerk solutions. I’ve worked with SROs since 2003. The county isn’t starting from scratch here; instead, there is a long-standing relationship between the county and MCPD that can be supported and refined.

I agree with you that there is no easy answer, but I firmly believe SROs remain part of the solution we are looking for. They come with training that supports the safe operation of a school. What they provide can’t be replicated by a teacher, a counselor, or an administrator. I wish our reality didn’t include crimes and violence within schools, but it’s there. [/quote]

Unless they go to a 4 year college and a MSW they are I’ll equipped yo do the job they are asked to do.

They need yo sign non disclosure agreements and take away their arrest power.

Then they can stay.[/quote]
