A variety of opinions about school-based police were shared Thursday during a hearing about proposed legislation to enhance the training of officers while they remain stationed in school buildings.
Some people spoke in favor of the bill during a hearing, saying they believe the officers make schools safer, help build positive relationships with law enforcement officers and provide “invaluable” support to students and families.
