Schools around the nation can't find enough resource officers
Fox News
One school district in South Carolina had to hire private security to fill SRO roles, but private security doesn't have the same training to deal with social-emotional issues in students.
Austin Westfall joined FOX News in 2021 as a multimedia reporter in Charlotte.
"We recognize they do not have the full training of an SRO, but I’d rather have armed security there than no one there," said Dr. Akil Ross, the district’s superintendent.
Why aren’t private security as ideal as SROs? Superintendent Ross says SROs go through special training to work with kids.
