SRO

The debate over school resource officers was reignited after a student was shot and killed at a high school earlier this month

The SRO was driving to work when he heard a call over the radio about a man driving the wrong way at high speeds

Prior to the change, school resource officers stored their long-range rifles in their vehicles, which are parked in school lots during the day

District officials also announced plans to create a safety task force, led by the LAPD, to use data to map out where and how frequently overdose incidents are occurring

“This SRO will not wait at all — no hesitation, no asking for permission to go in — to address an active shooter or any intruder on a school campus,” Sheriff Marcos López said

Officer Rick Hirshey returned as a school resource officer, an occasion that marked a closing chapter in his recovery from the March shooting

“When I got the letter, I teared up and cried. It touched me deeply,” Deputy David Morrow said

"Let me be very clear: You are not coming into my schools and killing our children," Sheriff Wayne Ivey said

The safes where the AR-15s will be kept will also hold ammunition and breaching tools for barricaded doors

The policy says that people would have to be trained and would undergo the same training as certified school resource officers

Every campus-based law enforcement agency must examine its active shooter response training and response protocols to a school shooting

The governor said his preference remains that school districts hire SROs, but said the law is another tool for districts that want to protect children

A school resource officer confronted a man who tried to break into a parked squad car near the school, officials said

School administrators say the officers will keep students safer and improve security measures
