The JPRC team contributed to a panel at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) annual meeting in Boston, MA on October 19 to discuss school-based law enforcement. This panel, entitled “Asking better questions: New research on policing in schools,” highlighted recent, new, and ongoing research funded by the U.S. National Institute of Justice (NIJ). Our team highlighted an ongoing study of school police reform in California and a recently funded study on training offered by the National Association for School Resource Officers (NASRO). This panel offered critical discussion and recommendations on best practices in implementing school policing programs.
