That is the solution to issues like the school shooting recently. Have all doors locked during school hours (with an override from inside in case of fire) and move on.

Don't automatically let someone into the school, make them come to a special window (with bulletproof glass) to be buzzed into the school through a special 'visitors' door.

You are aware the buzzer has a camera at it so they see who they are buzzing in?

I also noticed a lot of people who where already buzzed in holding the door for others behind them. Something relly needs to change!!

Also doesn't exist at Youth's Benefit, Wm Paca/OPR and Homestead/Wakefield as well as all schools with portables!

True, but that could be fixed by putting a "Window" where someone from the office is stationed in the building.

G D, with all due respect, they were never safe in the schools anymore than they were anywhere else. It's just that today, the school shootings are publicized nationally.

I was a counselor in Baltimore County elementary schools for 30 years and we had the buzzer system with a camera and a speaker for people to state their business before they were allowed in. But you all need to realize that schools are public institutions. People come in for teacher conferences, to see the administrators, to pick up sick kids, to register new ones. You have classes outside for recess or PE. Every classroom has an outside door, albeit a locked one. We are supposed to be receptive to parents and they always let you know when you're not. Long story short, without an armed guard at every building, elementary schools are the easiest targets there are. We all knew it but it was something we had to live with.

Tell your friends to stop running the signs and causing accidents and the police won't be ORDERED to work them. Then the PRIORITIES will change. Oh by the way FYI, there was a time when the community didn't like when police were at the schools. In fact there are people who still feel that way especially administrators.

Sorry Crazy, but since Harford County doesn't have speed cameras (other than Bel Air), it's just a money grab. No one in Harford County in the past ten years has died from not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Maybe they should be on RT 543 where people are actually dying monthly. Having a cop at each scholl from at least 9-3 is a great idea. Sorry is you'll be bored chatting with kids all day.

bored, ur right but when told to work a stop sign because neighbors are complaining we dont have a choice. Yea I know rules are made to be broken right, we as police need to think for ourselves right and not follow stupid orders. And your definitely right working in a school 9-3 is boring but if you think having a police officer in every school will stop the shootings its not. Plus there are not enough police to work at every school let alone the road. Maybe you should call the sheriff and tell him to stop taking deputies off the road and put them in specialized units or filling his command staff. How about taking Lieutenants and Capts. and other leaders off the desk and have them work the schools. And good luck asking for troopers. At most there are only 2-3 troopers working the road daily. They are short as it is. Another way is pay the deputies, officers or troopers as secondary employment to work the schools. It will cost money but there has to be a balance out there.

Crazy, thats just crazy. Who calls the police and says people are running stop signs, pure non sense. But I guess that explains all of the drug activity and crime in the area. If you only have 3 troopers on the road and they all all writing b.s. tickets for stop signs, then I guess the criminals can run free. But you have to admit it is a lot safer pulling over stay at home moms and writing b.s. tickets all day than going into the drup havens of the County and taking these gangs down. No money in taking the gangs down and yea, you might get shot. No stay at home mom is going to do that, right?

But back to the main point, if you guys have time to feed the coffers of the State all day, then you have time to hang out at a school. Believe me, I have no beef with you people, I am a stay at home mom, so needless to say, I have a clean driving record since I don't drive much. I just see too much attention paid to raising money and not protecting citizens. You do understand you main function is to protect people from criminals, don't you?

Bored u may think its nonsense but its a fact. People call all the time about stop signs. Let me guess you have insite to police like that where we make this up, right? I would rather go into the drug areas then write stop signs because believe me I personnelly am not afraid of these turds. I tell you what why don't tell the elected officials to stop having us write stupid tickets to fill the coffers and let us do our job, like fighting crime. Also since you are one of those people, stay at home moms, look up crime stat, state stat or call the governor about it. YOu will see what they want, revenue. And by the way I do have a problem with you people, soccer moms, SUV moms, or whatever you are called now. You are some of the worst drivers out there. Another thing one of my functions is also to enforce md traffic laws too.

Well Crazy I am impressed that I finally found a cop that admits that the whole job is all about the money. It supports my theory that your time would be better served sitting in a school or WALKING a beat in a mall, shopping center, neighborhood, athletic event, etc. Yes, somewhere where there are lots of people to protect. Please don't lecture anyone on driving. Actually, the worst drivers out there as a group according to a national study are the police. Why, because all the laws we have to follow, you are exempt. I just saw a story on this on Dateline last week where you cops are typing on lap tops while driving, talking on the phone (and typing on the lap top too), writing on notepads, some Depts. typing on smart devices while you are driving. Thank God for dash board cameras because they actually catch you guys running lights, stop signs, rear ending cars at lights and causing general mayhem when not paying attention to the road. Some Depts. in the mid west (obviously smart people) have wired the partol cars to disable all of that stuff when the vehicle is moving more than three miles per hour. While I am thinking about it, in a recent Montgomery County study of revenue cameras, guess which group had the greatest violation of speed and school zone cameras violations, you guessed it, the police. In the majority of the tickets, no emergenzy lights were on, but I have no doubt in every one of those tickets (which no one pays) they were heading to a call.

Are you claiming that God is punishing us for not forcing children to pray to a God they may or may not believe in?

That's nonsense. Obviously you don't believe in Freedom of Religion.
