Why We Need Police Here Everyday

If you go to BHS, you are aware of the school shooter rumor. Thankfully, it was just a rumor. However, many students said they did not feel safe whenever they heard a knock on the door, or would walk around campus alone. The school did have police on campus, and way more than usual. That’s the thing, we shouldn’t have police here just because they heard a rumor, they should be here daily or at least more often. I am not blaming the police for anything, but I feel more police should be on school active duty. Yes, our school is fine. What about the students in Florida? Seventeen lives were lost and it is crazy to believe how easily that could’ve been us yesterday, on school lockdown in fear for our lives. With many police on campus, it honestly limits the things that can happen, like these shootings. In no way, shape, or form is this anyone’s fault and no blame is being put on the police, however it would make all students feel a lot safer knowing that if something happens, we have protection on campus at all times. Usually, we have a few cops on campus but on the fourteenth, for our protection, we had cops checking up on us in the class and had cops roaming the school. Why should we be protected one day throughout the school year and not protected through it all?

Condolences and prayers going out to those families of the students who lost their lives in Florida.
