Debate over local school resource officers reignited

The mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, has reignited discussions about whether or not to enlist on-campus officers.

Deputy Carly Cappetto serves school districts in both Puyallup and Bethel as an SRO. She says many students spoke with her about the deadly shooting in Texas, worried that something like that could happen in their schools. She believes her work as an SRO is two-fold; preventing crime in the classroom and being able to respond quickly if something happens. She also believes it’s a position more schools should invest in.

“It would 100% make me feel safer,” says Arnold. “Because kids don’t know what to do. And teachers don’t know what to do.”
