Recommendation #2: Selectively Use School Resource Officers

Minnesota School Resource Officer programs have been used with mixed results. If a school has above average violence and other methods that have not worked, school resource officers should be seriously considered. The selection decision process should recognize that the results vary depending upon the school and the specific officer.

Survey Results Thus Far

Implementation Suggestions

Be aware that this solution is not a universal solution. In the right situation, this can save lives and build trust amongst students and police. In the wrong situation, it can be financially prohibitive, impossible to do because every physical shooting location cannot be guarded by one officer, and it can create more problems for students of color. Implement wisely.
