"“Sidwell Friends security officers do not carry guns.” "

But they are readily available should the need arise.

Several of Sidwell Friends employees (in that guard operation) are also designated 'police' which gives them the power of arrest. I think most folks saw that term 'police' and assumed all 7 of them were armed with something other than their black belts or whatever it is they use.

Sidwell administrative types tried to portray their 'police' as doing nothing other than calling the real cops ~ although I kind of wonder if they physically detain the targets of their ire, or what ~ that wasn't described.

Think of Sidwell Friends as like a Target in a toney neighborhood, not like a Wal-Mart in a Houston barrio. They ask you to follow them to the command center to await the cops.

Hmm ~ does not compute. So, I looked up something that might tell us how Sidwell security folks actually work, and this tale gives you an idea ~ >http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/105/88425.page

Turns out that's what the Sidwell cops did just before the Obama kids showed up ~ they busted the school pedophile ~ and called the real cops to get him.

There's no doubt they knew about this dude all along, but with the Secret Service coming to Sidwell THEY KNEW they had to get rid of their friend ~ and they did that in a NY sec.
