Law Enforcement Officers in Schools
Overview
School administrators should not be able to employ trained law enforcement officers as a “school security officer.”
February 3, 2020: GLAD Civil Rights Project Director Mary L. Bonauto submitted testimony in opposition of LD 1791, An Act to Allow Certain Retired Law Enforcement Officers and Trained Law Enforcement Officers To Serve As School Security Officer.
This bill would allow a school administrator to employ a trained law enforcement officer as the school’s “school security officer.”
