A new school-based policing model must lift the best parts of the previous SBC program and add new thinking to not only return a preventative school-based policing program, but increase safety and reduce victimisation and crime. Long term benefits may result in reducing the escalating numbers of students requiring re-engagement strategies and youth diversion programs.
A preventative policing approach with quality selection and training of officers and collaboration with schools, will strengthen school safety, respectful relationships and student success.
