RPS Board continues discussion on the role of school resource officers
On this week’s episode of the Rochester Rundown, we unpack the future of policing inside Rochester's secondary schools.
The Rochester School Board spent Tuesday evening reviewing its school resource officer (SRO) program, mere hours after the Derek Chauvin trial reached its conclusion. Officers, administrators, and board members all agree that police should have some role in the school environment, but after hearing students raise concerns over having a fully-armed officer in their learning environment, changes to the SRO program may be on the horizon. Hear from two leaders of the Rochester Police Department, plus RPS principals, board members, and the student perspective — all inside this week's podcast.
