School police

In the past 20 years or so as the number of school shootings increased the push to have police officers in the schools increased. These officers acted as a deterrent to some outsider entering the school and causing havoc. These officers are also used to deal with student problems within the schools and this has led to a problem with race. It turns out that a disproportionate number of students that have interactions with the officers are minorities. The LA teachers union has called for the removal of officers from the schools and to use that money to add more counselors. This could be an experiment to see if police in the schools actually help. This sort of thing happens in some big cities. There are times when the neighborhoods want more police protection and then they want less. The police chief has to use good judgment and move his personnel accordingly.
