摘要:This study reports the results of an investigation into the current status of school safety plans and how school resource officers can be used to improve existing school safety plans. The author examines the history of assaultive violence in schools, the evolution of school emergency plans and school resource officer programs over the last fifty years. The results indicate that the plans are normally failing to utilize the knowledge of school resource officers about the ballistic resistance of common barriers and tactical considerations involved in school shooting responses. The authors propose a more active integration of school resource officers, specifically into the planning and implementation process for emergencies requiring a school lockdowns (shelter in place) response.
