What if retired Police Officers or Officers who for other reasons can't
work "the beat" anymore were given enticements (pay them extra) and/or
training (for upper level grades) to become School Teachers or Aids,
Principals, Janitors, Guidance Counselors, Gym Teachers, Cafeteria
Workers, etc... and allowed to carry concealed weapons?

[That was the "pithy" part, below are my further comments in the
conversation, I have left out my friends comments for their privacy.]


"My thinking here is if you have armed and uniformed security gurards,
they would be the first targets. If you infiltrate the staff, nobody
really knows who or where they are at any given time during the day"


"Like I said though, if you are a "security guard" you are a sitting
duck for someone who takes you into account. If you are serving lunch or
mopping floors, coaching gym, you are more effective in my mind"

"These guys and women have been more scrutinized and profiled throughout
their professional career than any teacher will ever be, they are
experts at conflict resolution, trained listeners, trained body guards,
and most of all... they are cops. If there is any one demographic I
would trust with my kids, that's it"

You may use any or all of these thoughts in any way you wish, Thanks
