NATIONAL Council of Parent Teacher Association president Walter Stewart is calling for the Ministry of Education to release the policy which guides or governs deployment of police officers in schools.

“We have been asking to see the policy document which guides this entire process, and up to now, we cannot get it. We are being told it is (still) being worked on,” Stewart said in an interview with Newsday on Wednesday.

Although supporting the initiative where police will be in schools identified as being "high-risk," alongside deans of discipline, safety officers and MTS guards, Stewart questioned the implementation process.
