Schools should be a safe place for all children to learn and develop and law enforcement plays a critical role in creating and establishing these healthy and safe environments. The COPS Office has made a significant investment in school safety programs and strongly believes that the role of police in our nation’s school should be to serve as both a protective source of security as well as a gateway for identifying children in need and connecting them with necessary support services. In this podcast series, renowned guests from a variety of disciplines discuss the issues surrounding school safety, the role of police in schools and the importance of community coordination in the identification and referral of children who have been victims of or witnesses to violence as well as children with emotional or behavioral health needs. |
