Vancouver School Board trustees voted 8-1 to end the five-decade arrangement that has seen uniformed officers embedded in schools

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.British Columbia’s second-largest school board is ending a five-decade arrangement with the Vancouver Police Department that has seen uniformed officers embedded in schools.

The Vancouver trustees’ decision was informed by a recent review of the program by consulting firm Argyle PR that included input from more than 1,900 community members – just more than half of which were current or former students. The Toronto District School Board cancelled a similar program in 2017, despite a survey that showed a majority of students had an overall positive impression of officers in the schools. However, some students said they felt intimidated, targeted and uncomfortable with the police presence. The decision followed months of pressure from several advocacy groups, comprised of parents, community members and educators, calling for an end to the program.
