[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2019916, member: 1132"] Perhaps it's just my web browser, but my last post in this thread somehow wound up on page 2, so I'm reposting it because otherwise I'm not sure anyone will see it. :( Ed, I disagree with looking at countries with the fewest school shootings. We need to look at other countries with the most, or the most in the past and fewer now. What works for them and what doesn't? Also, rather than "militarizing" our schools, it needs to be like the Federal Air Marshals. Very discrete, undercover and no one outside the administration and the local responding LE agencies should know who or how many are carrying weapons (or have access to them). The armed personnel must have strict use of force and engagement policies. They never intervene in any non-lethal encounter. Their sole mission in life is to lie in wait and counter-ambush an active lethal threat. The deterrent and response capabilities are enhanced by the secretive nature of the program. The one thing you do is make it very clear that they are there. Are there two armed agents in the school? Five? Twenty? See how that complicates the active shooter's plot? It's all well and good to have SRO's on site and I think it's an excellent program. But what happens when the potential shooter knows who the SRO is and either takes them out first, or waits until they're off site? Undercover armed responders are VERY difficult to account for when planning a massacre. It's the very best security measure you can take. [/QUOTE]
