Mass. Changes Rules On Police In Schools
Boston sits at a crossroads when it comes to the daily presence of police in schools.
School officials in the city say they are considering shifting the school police force into a team of security specialists dressed not in uniforms, but polo shirts and cargo pants. School leaders are consulting with city officials and Boston police to reexamine whether school-based officers should retain the power to arrest students under a new statewide police reform law.
