Denver’s East High School, where a 17-year-old student allegedly shot two administrators on Wednesday morning, was one of dozens of schools in the Mile High City’s education system that removed all school resource officers two years ago over concerns that law enforcement contact with students “directly contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline.”
Mayor Michael Hancock said just hours after the shooting that two armed police officers will be stationed at East High School until the end of the school year.
“It’s also time to return school resource officers in our schools,” Hancock said Wednesday. “Removing them was a mistake and we must move swiftly to correct it. We’re ready to work with DPS, and we all have to step up as a community and be part of the solution.”
