Louis Riel School Division releases 2021 report that ended its police program

Following more than a year-and-a-half of secrecy, the Louis Riel School Division has finally released a redacted version of the scathing review that prompted its trustees to axe a police-in-schools program. “At best, the (school resource officer) program is ineffective in its stated goals of ‘building relationships’ and ‘promoting safety and education,’” community researcher Fadi Ennab wrote in the August 2021 report he submitted to the division. “At worst, the SRO program negatively impacts the school space by making many students and parents feel unsafe and targeted.”.
