New York Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled his plan to decrease police presence in the city's schools on Thursday.
New York, NY New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced a plan to decrease police presence in the citys schools by limiting the situations in which law enforcement will be allowed to respond to matters that arise on school grounds.
De Blasio unveiled his plan on Thursday, flanked by Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, WABC reported.
According to the mayor and school officials, police have historically issued too many citations to Hispanic and black children for crimes theyve committed.
"Police presence in schools and a zero-tolerance disciplinary approach make students feel like criminals in their own classrooms," Education Policy Center Director Johanna told WABC.
Under de Blasios new policy, New York Police Department (NYPD) officers must avoid citing or arresting students whenever possible for so-called low level law violations such as disorderly conduct, marijuana possession, and vandalism, WABC reported.
Students can only be arrested on school grounds for offenses that occurred off school property in cases of sex offenses, felonies, and crimes where there is an immediate risk of escape or where the perpetrator is apprehended in hot pursuit, according to the policy.

What could go wrong here?/s
I remember when chewing Gum in Class or wearing your Hair too long (Boys) got you a visit to the Vice Principles Office.
I also remember the Birch Wood Paddle hanging on the Wall behind my P.E. Teacher’s Desk.
If heeded away with all police, imagine how low the crime rate would be.
It only takes 50% plus 1 to vote for an idiot to keep him in office.
Perhaps he’ll restrict how they respond to everyday crimes. Maybe he’ll disarm the popo.
NYC is already a libtard’s wet dream. Just imagine if you turned loose a couple dozen super left libtards, with unlimited power, lots of taxpayer money to blow, and no normal moral constraints. That’s NYC now. The school system is especially vulnerable to their idiocy, since the control of city schools was handed over to the office of the mayor. BAD move. People are gonna get killed if the police are taken out of the schools. There’s already absolutely no discipline allowed in schools, particularly for black or Hispanic students. That’s right; kids can do whatever with impunity, teachers are not allowed to stop them.
They're stupid, hateful, gullible ciphers. Other than that, they're just like anyone else. ;^)
Yes they do
