Abstract (type = abstract)
In response to the rise of mass school shootings, schools throughout the nation have had to take a hard look at the safety measures they have in place to protect their students. Since the Columbine shooting and the increase in school-related shootings, schools have had to increase security and rethink daily operations during a normal school day. Through literature review, the history, potential causes and possible solutions relevant to school security and mass school shootings will be examined. The addition of armed and specially trained School Resource Officers (SROs) in every school has the potential to greatly benefit the school community. Acting as a foreseeable deterrent to school related violence and potentially mass school shootings, SROs can likely play a vital role as a liaison between the school, law enforcement and the community. SROs are arguably one of the better solutions for keeping schoolchildren safe.
