Poll results: How do you feel about your school saftey officers?

safetyofficers.PNGIn our most recent poll, we asked how you felt about your school security officers. "Great!" said 35% of respondents.  But 63% had concerns, and of those, 18% felt police officers don't belong inside our schools.

If you or your child have experienced problems with school safety officers, and would like to communicate with a member of the NYCLU, ACLU, and Dorsey Whitney legal team about the recently filed class-action lawsuit -- which alleges that NYPD personnel assigned to New York City's public schools have repeatedly violated students' civil rights through wrongful arrests and the excessive use of force -- or share a story about policing in our schools, please click here.
