Bellevue SROs Keep GLOVEs as OPS Pushes for Ban

TL;DR
Bellevue Police will keep SROs at Bryan Middle and Bryan High carrying G.L.O.V.E. shock gloves after declining OPS’s request to ban them; OPS had asked districts to remove the gloves, citing safety concerns, while Bellevue argues the tool is safe and de-escalating. OPD had already agreed to stop carrying GLOVEs in OPS schools, and other area districts are evaluating the tool.
