Last year, the Secret Service published a report that analyzed 67 averted school attack plots. In nearly a third of them, a School Resource Officer made a difference.

The study also said students are best positioned to identify and report concerning behaviors displayed by classmates.

"Students are not going to the local police station," said Captain Jennifer Seetoo of the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station."That's just not going to happen. But when they have a relationship with a security guard on campus that's approachable, they will share information with that security officer." The Malibu Committee hasn't determined whether armed security will be recommended to the full city council but the idea is already getting mixed reviews from parents.

"You first walk in and you see this armed guard or police officer," said parent Cambria McClain."And for people of color especially, it makes us a little more nervous naturally just because of history." "I'm pro because this is representative of the world we live in," said parent Christopher Tuffin.

Security options at schools will be discussed Monday evening during the city council meeting, which will be done virtually.
