Deputy Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Ju­nior Ben­jamin says there has been a no­tice­able re­duc­tion in school vi­o­lence since po­lice of­fi­cers were de­ployed to high-risk schools al­most two months ago.

How­ev­er, he said while in­ci­dents in­side schools have de­clined, some are now spilling on­to the streets. “Some schools that we're still yet to see the num­ber of vi­o­lence go­ing down,” Ben­jamin said, adding that this was feed­back from a few prin­ci­pals.

The gov­ern­ment as­signed 95 trained Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice of­fi­cers to ten pri­ma­ry and 50 sec­ondary schools at the start of the school year.
