In the wake of numerous school attacks, we request a small group of trained security in our schools. We believe having a true security presence would deter most individuals from attacking, and in the event of an emergency, could prevent, stop, and call official response faster than normal faculty and staff. We request that any security utilized be state or federal employees, thus freeing them from local and school politics. We also request they have the legal authority to subdue and detain any threat to students, until the local police arrive. Lastly, we request that they be a legitimate, trained force, and should be recruited from veterans of combat jobs, veterans who have experienced direct combat, and former police officials. Thank you for your time, effort, and thought into this issue.
