, the monthly average of tickets and arrests did not go up, according to data from the Denver Police Department.When Kaye, a 16-year-old junior, thought about the data on SROs, “I thought about, ‘Wow, they probably know how many people don’t want them to be there,’” she said. “So if they start arresting kids left and right, it would not look good for the police or DPS. It’s almost like they had to be on their best behavior. It’s like they were put in their place a little bit.

Those who support the return of SROs point to the data as a hopeful sign that students won’t be overpoliced. Those opposed to SROs are skeptical that two months of data, at a time when school safety was closely watched, proves that anything will be different.
