| Subject: The good: Ohio sheriff wants to arm ex-cop teachers Fri Jan 18, 2013 1:07 am | |
| A southwest Ohio sheriff proposed Thursday arming former police officers who go into teaching as a solution for improving school safety.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said Thursday he had sworn in a retired Mason, Ohio, city police officer as a special deputy. The man, Scott Miller, was recently certified as a substitute teacher.
Jones calls the arrangement a "two for one," meaning the special deputies can carry guns and make arrests, and as retired officers, the teachers would already have law enforcement training and experience.
"It's another avenue for getting armed personnel who are properly trained into the schools," he said. "Somebody has got to do something."
