FOX 13 News talked with retired Seattle Police officer Bennie Radford, who says there shouldn’t be talks about if SROs should return to schools because they should already have been there."Another child is gone; someone’s child is gone. Who knows who that young man could have been?" Radford said.It’s been five years since Radford was the school resource officer at Garfield High School."That school was my heart," Redford said.

"What it boils down to is the student’s perception of safety, the parent’s perception of safety and if that’s what they feel they want in place to feel safe, then I think it’s worth to have a conversation.
