LONG GUNS AND SAFES IN SCHOOLS

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I'm a School Resource Officer at an inner-city high school in Tampa and I'm trying to find out if any agencies in FL issue their SROs/SRDs long-guns and allow them to be kept/gun-safed in their respective schools during the school day.

With the ever-increasing threats we face both on the street and in our schools, it seems like a pretty good idea to not only have a long-gun but for an SRO/SRD, it would be an invaluable tool to engage and stop a threat at range, with accuracy, when that day comes. Particularly so, when considering that the active shooter/murderer is armed with a
long-gun(s) and possibly suited in body armor.

Thanks, God bless, take care of each other and be safe.

Our officers may or may not have them and if they do they would be locked up in their patrol cars, in some cases our SRO's are SWAT members and of course they have their SWAT weapons with them at all times.

Hope this helps
