Report: Schools With Police Saw More Student Arrests

The Government Accountability Office, which acts as a watchdog for federal agencies, said in a recent report that male students of color with disabilities were more likely to be arrested than the average student. The GAO also reported that police in schools nearly doubled the number of arrests and that arrests were more frequent when police were involved in discipline. Critics of police in schools say it creates a school-to-prison pipeline, while advocates for school resource officers cite the need to protect students and staff.
