Institute School Resource Officers in All Westport Public Schools
Why this petition matters
WHEREAS it is the right of every child to receive an education in a positive, safe, protected and secure environment, free from disturbance, threat or other potential adverse situations, both from within or outside a school; to receive instruction, skills and avenues of reporting to deal with social issues such as smoking, drugs, bullying, etc.; to foster a closer, positive relationship with both school administration and the Westport police department from a very early age; therefore:
We, the undersigned, are concerned Westport citizens who urge our leaders to act now to support the Westport Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Palmer’s initiative for the creation of a School Resource Officer position, to be filled by a fully-trained, armed, Westport police officer in each school within the Westport school district. Such position to report to both the Superintendent as well as the Westport Chief of Police.
