A few words of caution here: Very few, if any, of the current 'Resource Officers' are qualified to even train in the use of deadly force, much less actually carry weapons. THINK: Gil Collar. Putting firearms in the hands of some of these inept people, most of whom cannot even qualify to be Security Guards at local secuity companies, is NOT the answer. Hire additional police or sheriff's deputies maybe, but leave the Resource Officers to do what they do best, serve as crossing guards.
