Everyone has their own opinion on police officers right now, and my opinion has never changed. I’m a big supporter of law enforcement officers and even though there might be a few bad apples that make everyone look bad, I don’t believe that is the case with most law enforcement officers. And with the number of violent crimes we have seen lately in Colorado, I would think school resource officers would be welcomed on school campuses but I’m finding out that is not the case.
We got word from CBS 4 that even after doing a survey showing that school resource officers are wanted at schools the Poudre School Board is thinking about removing all resource officers. Last year the “Community Advisory Committee” known as the CAC said that officers should be replaced by officers that are already patrolling outside of each building without stepping foot inside. These officers would be welcomed inside during unique circumstances and emergencies.
