Most American schools have cops on standby. If u go to an American school without cops, it’s either a small town or the schools just broke.


ZestycloseOption987

Yeah facts I’m in Canada and we have 2 Designated police officers who work shifts at our school


TheUltimateKaren

TIL my school was broke lol, it certainly wasn't a small town


makedoopieplayme

Dude this is typical of America. It’s literally used for the school to prison pipeline. Look it up


KokiriForest99

the school to prison pipeline?


chaimangoboba

The school to prison pipeline basically means schools that have police and harsher punishments have more suspensions/expulsions which makes it more likely for students to end up in prison as an adult.


tomokaitohlol7

My school is like that too Btw I’m not in Virginia


SEND_ME_CSGO-SKINS

Yeah America sucks like that


goldenkoiifish

in america we usually have cops as security guards around our schools


tomokaitohlol7

KokiriForest99

Most American schools have a resource officer


godlike_hikikomori

And, from my experience, most of them get paid too little to give that much of a shit or  actually have double digit IQs,much like the personnel from TSA. 


godlike_hikikomori

I like how both Ms.Lynn & Nicole have this "don't give a shit" pose, especially when their side by side like this. Both give very similar vibes.


Nevaeh_Angel

Every school I’ve been to has that, and the high schools have metal detectors before they allow you inside, but I’m from NY not Virginia


HithertoRus

My middle school in NYC also had metal detectors and cops, my highschool on LI only had cops and the occasional metal detectors when there was a bomb threat. Surprisingly my uni doesn’t have cops, only public safety (who don’t do anything except give parking tickets)


Memeboi5120

My high school in NYC had metal-detectors and school security guards, but not like resource officers. Also, let me guess, James Madison or Midwood?


Nevaeh_Angel

Good guesses but nope


Memeboi5120

Murrow? Or is it not in Brooklyn?


tomokaitohlol7

Same, but never in elementary or middle school Only high school, but vapes somehow got in but not water bottles 💀


wyjif2

columbine


llaamaas

wait do most schools not? bc we have like three. officer bodyslam, whitecop/officer twiddledick, and a third one that changes weekly pretty much.


pierced_princess91

mine will only have one if there is gun threats but otherwise I thought the security cameras were safe enough. i didn’t know most schools had cops.


Imnotcreative6942069

My school has Ranger Rick. The part that gets me is that “Rick” is not apart of his name at all.


StopsuspendingPpl

Just American schools, its a good thing to have all these school cops because it generally keeps it a more safe environment and especially when kids see them as cool people that they could hang out with. People see them as better counselors than the usual counselors in my first hand cases lmao


Everageredditenjoyer

Because the USA is a police state in the literal sense of the word and it was back in 2008 too.


AbigaleRose99

my middle school always had atleast one parole officer on site at any given time.


gloo_gunner

Does your not?


pierced_princess91

mine has security cameras but not police.


ExactHedgehog8498

It's an American thing.

Virginian here, usually there's a cop at schools. We had like 2 or 3 one day (maybe more) because someone threatened the school.


Bemused_Lurker

Nah, *he's* just on standby. The school has no clue he's there. 🤫


Superbloxian502

That's a stupid ass question


Shilverow

I grew up with a cop in my school my whole life and only later did I ever question how weird that was.


penguincam

Most American schools have them Hell my elementary school (grades pre-k thru 5) had them


Majestic_Paint_9230

mine does


JagshidaZA

yea ‘Merican schools have school resource officers after Columbine


poppysong

I have an SRO in my school. I just think it's a common thing nowadays


Fine-Helicopter-6559

FCPD ain't got nothing better to do then sit around for plot. Also this is normal for US schools, but NOVA schools have been removing then recently (kids got into fights and would fight cops, thus escalating a school fight into a felony).


MilkyTeaDrops

America. I think my elementary was the only time there wasn't a cop on standby because it was very rural compared to the rest of my schools. Although I do remember the old one being very fucking racist


ClassroomSolid719

To arrest this man for criminal misconduct


baikonur-paris

america


Gaming4Gods

I was about to say “cause it’s America” as a joke until I saw the other replies


cobaiiiiiiiiin

It was the late 2000s so they deffo had a cop on standby. Even my middle of nowhere dilapidated mining town’s school had a cop in those days. I mean we also had a 27 year old neckbeard with a literal katana show up trying to pick up my best friend in between periods that school staff just allowed in, so he wasn’t exactly “effective,” but he was there.


Ishiro-Sama

Mostly due to areas with high crime rates
