[QUOTE="KDM, post: 208454, member: 314"] My two cents on this issue are these. Teachers have enough to deal with IMO. From what I've seen, these "Resource Officers" are woefully inept at doing what they are supposed to do, which is protect the students. A resource officer is NOT there to be a friend to the students. They are NOT there to "Promote" good relations with law enforcement. They are NOT there to "Liaison" with parents about discipline problems. They are there to take down threats to the students. Teachers are trained to help students in any way possible. They are NOT trained to put two in the chest and one in the head regardless of who is the aggressor. What is needed, IMO, is a properly trained, motivated, and disciplined individual that completely understands their role. They are there to PROTECT THE STUDENTS from threats of physical harm. It doesn't matter if it's a "Rape Gang" in the boys locker room, a fight in the hallway, or an active shooter in the lunch room. They are there to deal with it and protect the students and will have the means, training, and ability to do just that. Is it perfect......No. Will there be problems....Absolutely. However, it is the element of surprise, the unknown, the possibility of getting killed, caught, or otherwise stopped BEFORE completing their insanity that keeps many evil people in check and the randomness of a roving and effective resource officer goes a long way to putting this doubt in an evil persons mind.
