New York City to limit circumstances when police officers can enter schools

[link to abc7ny.com (secure)]


"One of the biggest changes is that the city is limiting when NYPD officers can enter schools, particularly for minor offenses that could be safely handled by school staff.

The administration had been exploring ways to decrease police presence in schools, claiming the vast majority of arrests and summonses issued are to black and Hispanic students.

Under the new policy, police will be limited from arresting or summoning students "whenever possible" for low-level offenses such as marijuana possession, disorderly conduct, spitting, or graffiti."
