SRO’s in Florida are Sheriff’s Deputies, they are armed at all times.
In Sarasota County, the Sheriff removed half the SRO's on duty at the public schools as a cost cutting measure even though the School Board was paying for 50% of the cost. The board didn't say a word in protest because they are a bunch of cowards and eunuchs.
I'm sure the Sheriff thought their time would be better spent writing parking citations to help support the ever growing welfare state.
Okay, I stand corrected. Here in Louisiana they are not.
Typically, and stupidly, in Maryland, SRO’s are unarmed.
