[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3086267, member: 13624"] Meanwhile, even a little [I]more[/I] about Deputy Peterson: [URL]http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/education/fl-broward-roc-officer-audit-meeting-20150122-story.html[/URL] [INDENT]A group of police officers is fighting to keep their mobile homes on school grounds after an audit blasted the benefits of such an arrangement and called for its end. The "resident on campus" program allows officers to live rent-free on school property as a way to provide after-hours safety on campus. But the decades-old program, located at 32 schools in Broward, was skewered by a school district audit that found it was poorly managed and did not dramatically reduce crime. "Frankly, I'm embarrassed," said Henry Mack, chair of the audit committee during a meeting Thursday. "I would shut it down immediately." About a dozen officers from the program attended the meeting; they called the report skewed and lauded the advantage of keeping law enforcement on school grounds. "These colleagues work hard. We are crime prevention, an audit report will never show how much we prevent," said Scot Peterson, an officer who has lived at Atlantic Technical College in Coconut Creek since 2000. He said he's arrested several juveniles for breaking into school property.[/INDENT] So...the brave deputy is willing to arrest kids when it's safe in exchange for rent-free living arrangements, but when it comes time to show his true colors, the only one to be seen is yellow. May he live forever in infamy. [/QUOTE]
