.RossPalombo shows how the staffing cuts at the LA School Police Department have forced officials to rethink their service model and how it has affected students' safety
After dramatic cuts two years ago, the Los Angeles school police can no longer guarantee that an officer will be stationed inside campuses.
The new service model will no longer station officers inside of the schools. Instead, they will only come to campuses when they are called. While police did respond accordingly after a parent allegedly attacked a student at Crenshaw High School last year, officers said that not being at the campus to begin with was a problem.
"I showed my parents this video of students fighting and they were like 'Why aren't the police there?'" Mejia said.
