Research has NOT SHOWN that police presence reduces school violence or builds trust with the community. Please let @MoCoCouncilMD, @MC_Council_Katz & @RicePolitics know that the community wants to replace cops in school with student support. Fund care, not cops, NO to #Bill721!

A school police officer in Baltimore has found new ways to engage girls who might otherwise be disciplined more for who they are than what they do. “She pays attention to us for the positive stuff,” said an eighth grader in her youth program. nyti.ms/2GsFkQ0
