Don’t get me wrong, I support having SROs in schools. I just think it is ridiculous to think they’d stop school shootings.
They didn't do well but that's not a justification to not have them. If they did their job they would have gone in, killed the killer and got those kids medical attention and that is the point.
If these incidents are representative, SROs will stand around, run away or arrest parents.
There have been SRO's who have also saved lives.
Neat. What percentage of the very, very long list of school shootings in the US since the 90s were stopped by SROs?
Hint: damn few.
Here’s a report with some statistics for you:
https://cops.usdoj.gov/RIC/Publications/cops-w0903-pub.pdf
It highlights 236 cases, of which 168 were adverted. It also contains twelve case studies of SRO-related events. On a personal level, I witnessed the SRO at my high school remove three knives and one gun from students, all taken without incident. He did a lot more than that, but those are the incidences I witnessed with my own eyes. The simple truth is there are many of us who have seen the value of SROs.
We all know the MoCo council pulled SROs without actually surveying the community. Instead, they listened to a small, yet vocal group. We also know that the principals were unanimous in wanting them to remain.
In almost every case in that truth the situation was diverted by a student, teacher, principal or behavioral specialist.
Having an armed guard at a school is the #1 reason a psycho thinks they need an AR15.

SROs make schools less safe.

School shootings typically involve assault style rifles, large magazines, and tons of ammo. SROs are seriously outgunned.
Maybe instead of MCPS asking them to supply bus drivers, we should ask the National Guard to provide armed soldiers.
The National Guard has better things to do than schools. It isn't their job. Its the job of the police. So by your logic, we should have multiple armed SRO's in each school. Fine with me.

MCPS is doing fine. The problem is the Republican party which is blocking the enactment of common-sense gun control to address these issues.
Its not as simple as just gun control. MCPS is not doing fine as they have lots of concerning incidents in the schools. The only reason why some care now is it is impacting the richer and W schools.

Our does when it's a parent they know holding the hand of their 7-year-old whom they also know. They have a camera.

No the student went to a teacher who told the principal who told an SRO who called the police.
The student could have told a teacher and the principal could have called the police.

No there have not been.
Yes there are. Google is your friend.
There have not been any cases so google is your enemy.
What is wrong with you? Of course there are positive stories.
No there are not. There is not 1 story in MD where an SRO stopped a shooting.

MCPS will talk about improving safety then do nothing. Shouldn’t there be random unannounced inspections to check the security at schools? Your front line of defense are low payed secretaries who may or may not follow protocol.

My kids have gone to three different schools over the last decade. Each one has cameras buzzers heavy steel security doors. They enforce a strict policy to keep the building secure. I don't think you can even be a parent volunteer without a background check these days. I've even gotten a couple emails about lockdown drills. This past week I've noticed police officers stationed at the school in the mornings when I've dropped them off. They have been doing everything imaginable that is within reason. The thing that not doing is passing gun control legislation but that's the GOP's fault.
