School Police Officers-Should they be armed
|
Posted 2 months ago Currently in California, it is up to the employing agency if they want to arm School Police Officers. The school district I work for doesnt feel it is necessary to arm there officers since we work in a fairly safe city. What are your comments? Feel free to send the school board your comments if you wish. there website is www.hbuhsd.org |

| Posted 2 months ago With the events that have occurred with increasing frequency since Columbine and before, it would be extremely foolish not to allow armed police officers in your school. It only takes once for someone disgruntled to bring a weapon in school, and you've taken away the only protection that those kids might have had. |

| Posted 2 months ago Here they are sworn officers just assigned to the schools For so long as one hundred men remain alive, we shall never under any conditions submit to the domination of the English. It is not for glory or riches or honours that we fight, but only for liberty, which no good man will consent to lose but with his life.

| Posted 2 months ago All school police officers should be armed, especially in California. The district is opening themselves up for a major liability lawsuit if any officer gets hurt or killed or a student or faculty member. When they put a police officer out in the field without the proper tools it's an tragedy waiting to happen. |

| Posted 2 months ago We have armed school police in Las Vegas and they do a pretty goodjob |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Why would a school want unarmed police officers? |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Only a retard would be an LEO without a gun. Arm them all, it's not just about how harmless the school is it's also about what might get into the school. I respectfully request Nikk and Henry be brought back as moderators please. PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Of course they should be armed, they are police officers, regardless of their assignment. |

| Posted 2 months ago Of course they should be! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Our school resource officers are regular patrol officers assigned to the schools. Armed and trained to handle active shooter senarios and school lock-down procedures.

| Posted 2 months ago tscharfe said: As I recall, most, if not all of the school shootings over the past several years have occurred in "Fairly safe" cities (does Columbine ring a bell?), if you are a certified LEO working in a school, then you should definitely be armed. There are NO SAFE SCHOOLS anymore, the potential for danger and armed confrontation are ever present. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago If they are sworn and trained Police Officers with full arrest powers then damn right they should be armed. If not then they are just glorified Security Guards. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Fully armed or give them nerf footballs to protect your child from a killer. I'll take fully armed. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago If the job says police... it needs a gun |
|
| Posted 2 months ago RetiredCop said: Same with are's. I think they should be armed what happen's if a shooter inter's the school what is he going to do threw a pencil at the shooter. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago First F.T.O told me that it's okay to wear a gun without the badge, but don't wear the badge without the gun |
|
| Posted 2 months ago our schools have S.R.O.'s. full time LEO's just assigned to the school. yes without a doubt they should be armed. LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY BUT RATHER TO SLIDE IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING "HOLY SHIT....WHAT A RIDE" |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Armed.Sorry,just noticed this is ask a cop,which I am not.oops. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago A police officer without a gun is like a firefighter without a hose. If a shooter enters, are you supposed to ask him nicely to stop shooting and hope he does? |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Police officers who are assigned to schools should be armed. There isn't one reason why they shouldn't be armed. As others have stated before, it isn't healthy to be an unarmed uniformed police officer. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I'm a SRO in a school where I have arrested students for possessing hand guns, brass knuckles, drugs, knives, clubs, and spiked gloves. If it wasn't for my firearm as a deterrent, then there is no way I would work in a school. The kids surely do not respect the uniform, but they know what a gunshot would do to them. Any agency or school who does not want to arm their officers or security are lacking common sense, and are putting the school and the officers in danger. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Same here as others, officers for the dept are assigned to schools. One of our schools just had a shooting, fortunately no one was actually shot, but they recovered 2 automatics and one handgun, and some knives. There isn't enough money in this world that would make me work in a school without my gun. They're idiots for even thinking it. "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein |
