Petition Summary
We demand that all police officers in Jackson County allocate two officers to each school in the district in order to potentially prevent, and/or drastically reduce the amount of casualties, in the case of a school shooting.
(Action Petitioned For)
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to minimize any potential threat, or harm, to our children and all the children of this great community by placing two officers in all our schools.
Very thoughtful and well written petition Salem! I agree that stationing police officers at schools will help protect some students. However, I will have to disagree that banning assault weapons should be dismissed. Yes, one can easily get a weapon off the streets, but the majority of the mass shootings in the US are perpetrated by weapons purchased legally. http://nationalpost.com/news/world/mass-shooters-use-loopholes-lapses-in-checks-to-get-guns Let's listen to the parents of those children massacred instead of the NRA and the politicians in their pockets.
