Amid calls for police reform, we’ve seen new scrutiny on the use of police officers inside schools. Some school districts in Minnesota are removing school resource officers from their buildings.

And what does a successful school resource officer program look like? Guests: Sandy Lewandowski is the superintendent of Intermediate District 287, which abandoned the school resource officer model a few years ago. Jillian Peterson is an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at Hamline University. She studies school safety and is co-founder and president of The Violence Project.
