plus have officers in the school.

I live across the street from an elementary school. My kids went there and to the local middle school and then high school. Right now one is 3rd year music education major and the other just got pinned as a nurse.

From day one of both kids schooling there have always been cops on the school grounds.

Mostly because the school system has this joke program called D.A.R.E. but they are also there for a multiple other reasons.

I think it is a good thing, as it is more about community then security. These kids know the cops name and the cop knows them.

What I do not want is armed guards or armed teachers at schools. Armed guards are for prisons and military stuff. Teachers packing heat is just plain stupid.

Cops are fine for schools and most schools already have cops on campus and have had them on campus for 20+ years.
