I can't imagine it getting much worse.
Our town is about 70,000 people, we have anywhere from 6 to 15 officers on the road per shift.
So, there are more security people in the schools, all totalled, than there are working the road.
We almost have as many SRO's working as we do road cops. 6 cops on days, (Minimum) 4 SRO's. And they want to add a few more.
Makes me sick.
"there are more security people in the schools, all totalled, than there are working the road"
I'll say it again.
If you look at how administrators spend their time today you'll see that education is third or fourth. Security is first and second is examining new teaching methods.
"New Teaching Methods" = rearanging deck chairs on the Titanic.
