WITH special reserve police (SRP) officers set to be stationed at around 80 high-risk schools, TUTTA president Martin Lum Kin is warning that the measure should not be used as a long-term solution to school indiscipline.
“We will monitor that initiative and see how it goes during this term. We do, however, reiterate the point that it must not be a long-term measure; it should be short term,” he told Newsday on September 1.
His sentiments were echoed by the Estate Police Association (EPA). In a media release, the association said school indiscipline cannot be resolved simply by placing SRPs in schools, but acknowledged the circumstances that prompted the intervention.
