I certainly don't claim to have all the answers, I can only speak from my experience at Lincoln. The kids know when our SRO is gone. Used proactively, kids come to him for help on outside of school matters. 12 incidents involving our zero and only 2 were taken to the juvenile justice center. Even those two were taken to the car when kids were in class and weren't handcuffed until they got to he car. Kids know we are doing our best to be as discreet as possible.
