TL;DR

Omaha Public Schools asked school resource officers to stop using electric-shock gloves on students, a policy change Bellevue police will not follow as they continue carrying the devices; other area districts have not yet decided. The gloves cost about $66,000 for 40 units and have been used sparingly in recent years, sparking criticism from students and parents who say the tool is unsafe in schools.
