As a NASRO National trainer, one of the most important issues that I want every officer to be able to understand and DEFEND is your true Role as an SRO. I explain that first and foremost it's not about YOU! It's what you represent, those who find themselves opposing LE/SRO's in school are against ALL area's of ORDER...STRUCTURE...and DISCIPLINE. LE/SRO are viscously attacked because of the rightfully perceived level of AUROITHY they process.
Our School district of roughly 90,000 students is considered a medium to slightly large school district. EVERY ( notice all caps) superintendent or school director of large urban school districts MUST repeat the talking points concerning LE/SRO's in our schools to keep their positions.
I could go on, but I'll leave it at what's been said. Again GREAT ARTICLE would love to meet you to discuss more.
Fact is John. Bad Hoods have bad kids. I will not sugar coat this fact.
Small framed short Japanese Teacher; Black student used force pushing a full sized heavy table into her stomach causing her to miscarriage.
Same student stabbed numerous others with sharpened pencils. Fought/resisted any staff who placed hands on him. As a kindergartner, escaped to the main yard where he attacked and beat his fourth grade female cousin. Took PD thirty minutes to respond. Once on scene, officer’s failed to touch the kid the male teacher was holding in a bear hug on the dirt for twenty minutes. Female cousin, herself well known violent out of control girl child, attacked teachers during class time.
Charges dropped due to Administrative No-Child Left Jailed policy. I feared for my wife’s life at times. Teachers, counselors are not trained in the ways and means to Thuggery so many schools are surrounded by.
As a Reserve California Police Officer, believe me when I say I was shocked the first time third graders engaged in a gang fight told me to go fuck myself when I identified myself as a cop! You can’t do nutin’ you fuck!
They went on fighting and stomping exactly like their fathers, their kin folk did on the state prison yard I worked as a full time prison guard
Sure we can discuss it. Back in the 1980s through 1990s it was called DARE. Or more specifically the dare program, a program to teach kids not to try illicit drugs. Very similar to Nancy’s Reagan’s anti-drug program with the sentiment just say no to drugs. It was my view officers used this program mainly to get off the streets—get a breather. special funding came from the federal government then. It proved overall a waste of money.
The problem with dealing with children, Is a very emotional issue. They can be mean bastards, cruel, even taught to fight exactly like a prison gang member on the schoolyard. By mainstreaming the bad apples with (Non-Violent) wanting to learn students, they lose, lose in a big way. for they cannot learn very much all due to several disruptors in the classroom that takes up the teachers instructional time frame. The amounts to loss of important mathematical time needed in order to grasp the methods that are needed to pass state mandated test. This creates stress I mean a lot of stress. Couple with No Child Left behind considerations/polices in place, equates to unequal justice being shouted out even screamed out that totally turns institutions of learning into a juvenile prison like atmosphere. Innocence gets eaten alive, bullied, beat-down, with staff unable or overly fearful to press felony charges, or kick the Gangster child out of school entirely.
California State Education even increased number of instructional period to math, reading, and science. Yet? California remains lowest test score state in the Union.
Resource Cop? He/She can only work in accordance to Superintendent of schools policies and procedures.
Discipline is Not equal justice for all. Only the designated few.
A complex issue that needs to be examined and addressed, thank you for bringing this conversation to the forefront
