SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS: Should They Stay Or Should They Go? (Episode 24)

Episode topics include: School Resource Officers (SRO's) serve as a vital link in the communication chain between law enforcement and the citizens that they serve. SRO's have consistently provided expert assistance to school administrators, teachers, students, and parents. However, there is a divide amongst politicians and 'everyday' Americans as to their effectiveness and purpose within the public school setting. As a former SRO, Dale will speak about the pros and cons of having SRO's within public schools. Also, Dale, Dave, and Nathan will take a look at three recent cases involving school violence. (1) Covington Louisiana High School student (Larrianna Jackson 18) was arrested for assaulting her disabled elderly English teacher. (2) A student from Millikan High School (Manuela Rodriguez 18) in Long Beach California was shot and killed by a School Safety Officer. (3) Arlington Texas School Shooter (Timothy Simpkins 18) was arrested on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and subsequently released on bail.Inside the Line: Real Stories by Real Cops explores serious crime ‘n grime issues and stories with a dark sense of humor, from a street-level view.
