One can't help but wonder why?
But the whole country is trying to find a way to get police into the schools, so in response he pulls them out. The timing just seems odd, unless it is merely to thumb his nose at the idea because Trump is peddling it now.Not really. Social work is in. Police work is old and busted.
The New York Postreports that armed officers in schools are being jettisoned in light of “Mayor de Blasio’s new community policing units.” Such units “will visit schools while patrolling the neighborhood” but full-time, designated school assignments are over.

The once-common practice of putting an armed cop in schools waned in the 1990s. All were gradually eliminated, but Francis Lewis, one of the biggest high schools, slipped by. Bayside and Benjamin Cardozo high schools also recently lost their full-time NYPD officers, according to parents.Espinet is one of the last — if not the last — school cop to go.
“I’m not aware of any other school with a full-time police officer assigned to it,” said Lt. John Grimpel, an NYPD spokesman.
We never had police in school. I don't think police have to be or should be in school for the students discipline. Well maybe some inner city schools.
Police can always be called if needed but if it's just two kids fighting that doesn't warrant a cop.
However to protect schools I do think police are needed and should be there. And any other armed means, teachers, ECT.
But they shouldn't be there to interact with the kids, unless a kid is shooting up the school. Just my opinion. I just don't think we need kids feeling like cops are always watching them. I wouldn't have wanted that as a student nor do I want that now.
Same guy who limits the size soda you can buy. The saddest part is the citizens put up with it. If there ever is a shooting in one of his schools, I'm sure he has a list of whose fault to make it.NYPD Removing Armed Officers from Schools
So Mayor Big Bird has decided to remove the police presence that they have had in their schools...

I have to admit, my mind went there....If there ever is a shooting in one of his schools, I'm sure he has a list of whose fault to make it.

1700 schools to each have a cop is a whole freaking department of another major metro city? That ****’s expensive! NYPD’s School Unit would be larger than most cities’ entire police force! What’s IMPD’s sworn staff, 1500or so? It’s not a sustainable presence financially.

I work as an SRO for an 11-12 grade alternative high school. I do assist security, and I will break up fights, but my main job is to protect the students and staff, and to take police action when necessary. I interact with the kids, and try to give them a positive example of what law enforcement is. The sad reality is that many of my kids live in rough areas, and a lot of them have a very negative view of LE. Sometimes I'll go in the gym and shoot hoops with them and joke around. I'm trying to break down the "us vs. them" mentality.
The school corporation pays us, not the department, so funding is coming from the education fund. I'm not sure how it is in NYC.
